As a station, NO, it would be like the City Hall Station.
But yes, trains can be short-turned there if needed, especially a (9) Dyckman Street - Rector Street service.

But mostly just to stash a gap train or to lay up a OOS train until it can be fixed or moved, yup... it will remain a great asset to the system.

NOPE. They are NOT going to do that.

The rule of numbers relating to delay time on the Internet... divide any numbers given by 3 :). The gapfiller (looking at videos) only took 5 seconds, and the position change took more like 7-8 seconds, the conductor was a bit sluggish (I wish they could do it while the train was moving). I just wasn't expecting that wait, thus it felt longer.

What I was trying to get at was, comparing last month to this month, the same #1s will make the same ferries within the same margins of error.
But, comparing 2001 to this month, people have had to take earlier ones since the whole waiting at Rector thing, and now that the waiting at Rector is removed, a different delay was put in its place.

One thing I will definitely agree on, leaving the station is a definite improvement, nice and fast. The crossover switch is a lot closer than it appears on the track diagrams, and the trains take it (while departing) at good speed.
