"Since 2nd Av wasn't quad-tracked a hypothetical 2nd Av T subway would need to either: - Merge with the Q on 72nd St which would introduce delay and capacity issues - Terminate in Midtown - Continue on a new crosstown or Queens tunnel These all suck in their own way"

"@PatrickSpenceDC There are still large centers of employments along 2nd Avenue. Less than midtown but that's partly because of the lack of subway access. The midtown blobs area also well served. Curving the T train would make it basically the same as every other train"

"The point would be to hit Midtown East and provide a fast UES-LES train. You could have a walking transfer to E/F Lex-53rd like how the 51st [--] does. The [--] would need an infill station or maybe just a walking transfer since the Grand Central station platforms continue all the way to 3rd Av. The main benefit is the [--] St L and 2nd Av F stations that already have provisions for a T connection. Admittedly this ROW has many issues. But if the T train is gonna be done I don't see a better path. If you curve it west you're just mirroring the Q train at immense cost"
