I love how the looks. But I still wonder how will the operate express if it stops at two local stations.

So I see they're adding Bedford Pk Blvd this time!

There's a crossover south of Bedford Park Blvd, so for a Manhattan-bound train, it's possible without tying up much.

 

For a Bronx-bound train though, it's not possible, as there is only a half-crossover.

Okay, that doesn't seem too bad. But something tells me that the MTA will soon have to simulate p.m. service.

I got a question, if this ever becomes permanent, would the Jerome Local still skip 138th Street or both ?

[Concourse Express 127]

Both and would skip 138 St, as they did when the last ran the ; trains skip 138 during rush hours to reduce congestion when merging with the .
