No, it does not need express service. The "skip-stop" service does increase the speed of particular trains but they remain in sequence. People would be pissed if they got less service at their station, and it is doubtful that the terminals could manage a greatly increased frequency of service.The reason for building the third tracks was never to provide express service, although the IRT does do this. The reason is to provide flexibility in case of a breakdown and flexibility for maintenance. ROAR |
