This decision is not good to me. I've been going to Queens via QBL before and during the shutdown, and the via 53rd Street did help with the delays near Queens Plaza, where trains interfere with one another.
It is best for the to run via 63rd Street, and continue running on the local tracks to Forest Hills, and allow for the to be via 53rd Street. This service pattern is popular with riders, and it is sadly being thrown out of the window in favor of how it was prior to the shutdown.
