Operationally it would have been an improvement since fumigating and turning at Continental backed-up the n/b local to at least 63rd Drive during rush. Now, had they sent both the G and N to JC, that would not have accomplished much of anything. Union Turnpike would have been a lot more like Roosevelt with most folks swarming from the local to the express. That would have increased dwell time.Splitting-up the E & F with the N to 179th would have balanced things better, though there still would have been the problem of people who just can't cope with riding a local. I often could beat an F train leaving Continental at the same time to QP, or even 34th on the local in morning rush. At the very least, I could enjoy a seat versus being crammed against people. Reality is not something the typical subway passenger wants to deal with. |
