Posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Jan 22 23:04:18 2008, in response to Re: (R) Extension Idea, posted by WillD on Tue Jan 22 22:05:12 2008. Nobody is cutting Astoria service. We run just as many trains as the line can handle.BUT.... Astoria is served by the 60th Street Tunnel, ergo IT IS A LOCAL. LION thinks that Second Avenue can use more service than either the (Q) or the (N) can provide alone. And the (N) does have to go somewhere. IF express trains will no longer use the 60th Street Tunnel, then it MUST use the 63rd Street Tunnel. From there it can go to 125th Street or to Forest Hills. If it goes to Forest Hills then the (R) must go to Astoria. Also as soon as the express trains are extended to 63rd Street, 57th Street can no longer be a terminal. The LION *did* think about sending the (N) to Queens, but others have dissuaded him of this notion, and now he agrees that both the (N) and the (Q) need to serve 125th Street, until such a time as the Lower Second is built and in service, then the (T) can replace the (N) and we can rethink the status of the (N).
