I don't think you'll see many platform extensions on the LIRR other than those planned for Jamaica. I suspect that if I were to look at the LIRR in 2024 there might only be 1 or 2 stations that have had their plaforms lengthened compared to today.At busier stations, the reason for platforms shorter than 10 or 12 cars is typically due to some physical characteristic of the tracks (terminal stations, or Valley Stream) or because the station is sandwiched between two grade crossings (Oceanside and New Hyde Park come to mind). |
