I think that it would be possible to squeeze in a couple of trains through the West Side corridor during rush hours, but thats not an informed opinion.If they could "squeeze" a few more trains in during the rush hour, NJT would already be doing it. I guess we just have to take NJT's word that it can't be done. Still any project to bring MNRR to Penn would be just as beneficial as bringing LIRR to GCT, but for a fraction of the cost, even if new Penn construction is required. IMHO, no, it would not be "just as beneficial." ESA serves two purposes: primarily to bring in more people from LI (since Penn is full) and secondarily to bring people closer to their jobs on the East Side. MNCR to Penn only serves one purpose: to bring people closer to their job on the West Side. While I personally would love that, I think it is clear that it is nowhere near as important as being able to bring more people into Manhattan. |
