Court Square can handle some additional load, though obviously not all of the L load.There are 20 tph of Ls. Hopefully 5 more Ms can be added at 23rd/Ely. The biggest opportunity is the WB. Right now it handles 8 Ms and 12 J/Zs, and they aren't particularly packed. Maybe there are 16 full trains worth of passengers on those 20 trains. Ideally they could run 15 Ms, 12 J/Zs, and 3 supplemental Js that run just from Bway Jct to Chanbers or Broad. If that's more Ms than 6th Ave and Queens can handle, run fewer Ms and more supplemental Js. Both Bway Jct and Chambers can turn trains without fumigation. |
