Posted by Broadway Lion on Mon May 22 23:32:00 2006, in response to Re: LIRR East Side Access, posted by Olog-hai on Mon May 22 18:55:59 2006.  Can you do math? GCT = 67 tracks, NYP = 28 tracks. Why do any Metro-North trips need to get out of GCT?!? Wrong. NYP has 21 tracks. LIRR can use only what 15-21, maybe sharing 12?? 13 and 14 with AMTK and NJT. LIRR needs more capacity, and the 63rd Street Tunnel was already built with that capacity in mind. Now it is being used. True, some people will choose one train over another because it arrrive at GCT instead of NYP, but that is NOT the *reason* for building the tracks. LIRR is in the business of getting commuters into Manhattan. LIRR does not really care *where* in Manhattan. ROAR
