"What this will kill is any kind of short-turn service, such as they are likely to have late nights and weekends, terminating Broadway trains at 72nd Street, assuming the entire line is built."True, but then the most important service is Q and T to 125 St. If you have the money, a short turn service is cool. "I don't see how they will save money if they need to aquire more property." They are not acquiring more property. They MAY need an additional underground easement, depending on the depth. Look up "easement" vs. "property." On the other hand, reducing the size of the station cavern reduces the cost of the station by a facttor of square, if I recall correctly. That is, increasing the diameter increases the material cost by the square of the diameter, so reducing the diameter dramatically reduces that cost, and eliminationg the third track and second platform reduces the cost even more. |
