Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon May 22 09:37:30 2006, in response to LIRR East Side Access, posted by //ROOT on Sun May 21 23:08:29 2006. I don't believe too many trains will be cut from Penn. Of course there may be a few, but the East Side Access is mainly to increase capacity on the LIRR. The LIRR can't run more trains than they do or want to now because of capacity at Penn. I believe I remember hearing that Brooklyn service may be reduced a little but. And of course I don't know what will become of Hunterspoint Ave service either which will become much less necessary, in fact it will probably be a ghost town at Hunterspoint Ave after East Side access. But of course the diesels have to terminate somewhere as they will have to get to LIC yard anyway. But perhaps they will be deadheaded to LIC (maybe via the Lower Montauk line) and terminated at Jamaica to passengers instead of running in service to Hunterspoint Ave station. The 7 line will also get a reprieve in passengers as you won't have all those transferees at Hunterspoint Ave station. |
