So there is room to add a few trains in the other direction if they could find a place to keep some older ones as the new ones arrive.

The section downtown where there's not different express and local tracks get's really full during rush hour....for the most part, when waiting at Nassau/Fulton if you miss a train, another one is literally right behind it. The wait is about 30 seconds for the next train. Ed’s right.

The section where they share track from Hoyt-Schemerhorn to Canal seems to run at about capacity during rush hours. Not sure about that.

If more cars were available, more trains could be run. FYI the A/C doesn’t have a track capacity constraint. If more cars were available, more trains could be run.
