Well, the Queens super express could be used in the future should the subway expand further eastOne thing has nothing necessary to do with the other. You can, e.g., extend the Hillside Av Line right now without a 'super express'. They're talking about a 'super express' because they want to run more than 30 tph on the Queens Blvd Line's express tracks, which doesn't work. But you can extend the Hillside Av Line, no problem other than paying for it - it's already extending out further than 179th St. You can run 17 peak tph, which is the same that presently run, I think. If you extended local service to terminate further out at some more efficient terminal, you could extend up to 45 tph eastward along Hillside Av, although I think that a new yard facility would be required too. |
