I was just going through the service changes for this weekend when something caught my attention:

Why would they send (F) trains to Lefferts at nights instead of Euclid?
-
To save on the costs of having to set up for nightly lefferts shuttle service.

the lefferts shuttle is not running and the A goes to far rockaway

Thats what I wasn't going for. I meant Why stop the shuttle from running and because of that extend the (F)? Unless its to ease any congestion there would be at Euclid from the Lefferts shuttle terminating.
-
As Max said , they save money by not running the shuttle and simply replacing it with the (F), since the (F) is already going to Euclid ave.
-
It costs money to uncouple 8 car R46 sets in to 4 car R46 sets for Lefferts Shuttle service, and then to operate the service.
Its a lot easier to add a few more trainsets and crews to the F to extend it to Lefferts.

I believe it's because they have to pay people to do it and stuff? This F to Lefferts is only temporary, right?

Yea, this weekend only so far

Nope they are doing it on the 22nd.
Also there is no F to lefferts r160 Program, so conductors sign it up to Euclid and make manual announcements after Euclid to lefferts.
What i would do is sign it up as a F to Jay St and then at Jay St change it for the A to lefferts.

i would do the same also but at euclid avenue they should switch to the express track and put A to lefferts blvd or they should store some F trains on the yard track at grant to begin service

The costs of staffing the uncoupling operation and running OPTO service is higher than just extending the F a couple more stops.
