I suppose I always figured that CBTC would enable more terminal capacity, otherwise, yes, roughly 24 tph becomes the limit. (Theoretically one could talk about terminating some trains at Union Square, I guess, depending on what this signal system's capabilities really are, but I honestly don't see how that's plausible at higher levels of service - change ends, brake test leaving, the interlocking is located some distance away from the station, and there are other trains approaching and potentially held up). |
