From what I have read here and in the ESA documents, I don't recall anything ever being said that the LIRR was going to decrease the number of trains into NYP or Flatbush Av.You know what: I don't know this. But LIRR is presently not suffering from severe overcrowding. How many extra trains could they add? And would this be cost effective? The funniest thing about all of this, is that while everybody is saying that no current MNRR equipment is capable of running to NYP (and thus we need new equipment, which 'cannot' happen), If LIRR doesn't divert any trains from NYP, they too will need new equipment. As far as what you said on Penn: I thought that there was a new expansion planned for NYP with platforms under Farley. Forgive me for my misstatements. But, if there is going to be a new NJT tunnel under the Hudson (what's it called, ARC?) then where will these trains be berthing at NYP? It IS possible to make space at NYP if you really want MNRR to go there. |
