Posted by VictorM on Wed Dec 23 18:48:04 2015, in response to Re: W train returning when Phase I of the 2nd Av subway opens in December 2016?., posted by Joe V on Wed Dec 23 18:20:21 2015. 57 St to Ditmars and back is 40 minutes. 57 St to 96/2 and back will be approx 16 minutes. That saves 24 minutes - enough for a substantial reduction in the number of W trains needed. On the other hand if they plan to increase Q service when SAS opens there could be a definite equipment shortage. A lot also depends on the utilization factor. I think at the present about 15% of the NTT cars are out for maintenance, inspection etc. If that could be reduced it would help. |
