I read an article in a Bklyn tabloid that there will be trains sent as expresses from Jay St to Church Avenue in the AM peak and two in PM peak starting in the fall.
In the article it also mentions the outrage of elected officials in communities where the stops will be skipped.

The MTA response is that it is giving riders in southern Brooklyn relief since there are many stops on the line.

Why not extend this express further south to Kings HWY or Neptune Avenue? If I am not mistaken, don't they have a configuration that could handle an express?

It will be two trains from Church to Jay in the AM, and two from Jay to Church in the PM. I think the real reason is to avoid overloading the local tracks with too many F and G trains. Since the G doesn't run south of Church, neither will the express.

FALSE. It will be CI trains.

Yes it will be. I meant no need to reduce the number of trains using the local tracks south of Church Ave., since the G won't be contributing to train traffic there.

What the people get on the missed stops is that the following train will be less crowded.

What LION might do is to run an [F] train CI to Church and then Bingo to Jay

Then pull out a clean empty (F) train from the by-pass tracks to cover the stops Church to Jay.
