That is true:Maybe what could be done is this: (W) is the full-time Astoria line between as suggested 9th Avenue and Astoria with the maximum number of trains per hours after whatever number of (R) trains use the tunnel at 60th Street (and in this case, Montauge since both lines would use the same tunnels. Outside of rush hours, the (W) could run with as many trains as the combined (N) and (Q) currently run to Astoria and (N) on weekends. (N) and (Q) both run to 96th/2nd as has been suggest with both being express on Broadway (with perhaps a limited number of short turns at 57th Street at certain times to avoid sending too many trains to 96th). This eliminates the need for merges on Broadway and likely makes the lines more efficient. |
