What I would do is run those (D) trips in service up Brighton. The (B) stops running between 7 and 9 depending on what's going on that night anyway, and those empty (D) trains are a waste when they're actually needed elsewhere.

This is a good question. The reason (D)s are sent up Culver is because the weakest link in the entire "everything up the wall after 7:30" GO is Dekalb. North of 36 St, there isn't any way of getting (D)s and (N)s back onto the express tracks, so you have a few hours every evening where the (B)(D)(N)(Q) are all sharing A2 track through Dekalb Avenue station. That can get *quite* messy quite quickly, so reducing train volumes there is a must -- hence Culver. 

My big question about the (D) via Culver, fwiw, is why those intervals don't run via B4 track. Sending them up the local -- which seems to be the norm -- seems a waste of time and money, to say nothing of delay around Church. 

Not going to touch the Wally proposal, because self care summer
