Why is it obvious you can't run them all at the same time? There is no obvious reason you can't run 18 trains per hour on the B/D through Grand and 18 tph on the 6th Ave local track, with 6 of those trains switching from one to the other at Bway Lafayette.They do more trains than this, with the same kind of crossover north of 34th, on the NQRW every day at rush hour. |

Isn't that normal operating procedure during the week with 6 minute headways in rush hour, not 12?30 minutes of congestion? I've come to a dead stop in places due to congestion and never had it become 30 minutes unless there is a total blockage with no way around it. |

The main issue is that work trains run on the same paths, and not only do they operate slower, but if one of them craps out (like it was the case yesterday) in the right location, it paralyzes everything running through DeKalb. |

OK, work trains are a problem, I see that. But they're a problem if they die even if you had no M trains. Also, wouldn't they generally be running on the NQRW tracks rather than the BDFM tracks? |

The one yesterday malfunction at Grand Street. There's other instances of work trains affecting the 6th Avenue line, either on the trunk or on the bridge track leading towards the 6th Avenue line. IINM, work trains going to other northern locations where work is performed tend to use the 6th Avenue line. |

Generally though, without the (Q) and (R) , it's okay. I think that perhaps the (R) should have stayed on the express tracks until either 47-50th or south of 42nd.The problem is, if the former is the case, it would have to run via 63rd and bypass Queens Plaza. There would them be no local from Queens Plaza unless you run the (E) local, which in turn creates more inconvenience. |

There is no merge at Broadway-Lafayette during normal operating hours. There is the bottleneck.Weekend congestion (4 lines via 6th Ave) added 5-10 minutes of travel time (more on Saturday, less on Sunday). All 3 times I rode the northbound R, the R was held to allow the F and/or M to go first, even if a D was directly behind and even if the R was already severely delayed due to Saturday early afternoon 4th Ave trackwork. Last night's congestion was far worse since 5 trains (not 4) were running via 6th Ave. I'm sure the prior work train incident didn't help matters either. |

This has nothing to do with 5 services running, since 5 times 6 trains per hour can easily be run on a 4 track line.It must have to do with some other operational problem. |
