If I ride the D from school it is terrible. I do not think the slowing down of the express trains directly relate to the construction itself, it is the complex interlocking just north of the station. It is similar to the Dekalb Avenue interlocking and other complex interlockings. Second point, the levelling at Rockafeller is in conjunction with the ADA access project/rehabilitation (if it is an overhaul). I think the downtown platforms are higher because the Central Park West line from 7th Avenue is one level higher than the same line in the uptown direction. But if construction happens like this it might affect the grade of the track. Talking about different levels, the 34th Street Station on the Broadway Line is a bit uneven... you might want to check for yourself. The noise is cacophonous!

It's super crowded and in some places the platform is like two feet wide. This is my station and every day I pretty much think I or someone else is going to get pushed onto the tracks.

I've noticed the higher platform areas are essentially flush with the train floors, presumably fro ADA compliance.
