Yep I was thinking about that, but I wondered how it would affect passenger loadings on all four lines during the rush hour.

As it is now during the rush hour, many R and V riders that board before Roosevelt stay on board and continue to Manhattan (because they either don't want to deal with the transfer, crowded express, they have a seat, it gets them to their destination). Of course many still do the transfer to express service at Roosevelt anyway.

But I have a feeling that if Woodhaven became an express staion, more of those passengers who would have taken the local all the way in would opt for the express, crowding express trains more. I see it at Roosevelt, people going to 53rd Street; they wait for the E or the V (the first one to arrive).

So it might have a detrimental effect on overcrowding on express trains. And a negative point to bettering local service, when your busiest local station is now an express stop.

So its iffy at best.

BTW, it sounds like you live along the line? I live at 63rd Drive
