Yes, unfortunately you're rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, or if you prefer robbing Peter to pay Paul. It'd seem you've accepted that tunnel capacity is finite and nearly full, but why should Amtrak rearrange their operations to suit the LIRR? The real problem is a lack of capacity under the rivers and while it's unfortunate the solution to that problem is quite expensive. Not every Amtrak train originates or terminates in NYP so if you wanted to reduce Amtrak's effect on NJT and LIRR's peak hour loads you'd inevitably have to go to them hat in hand and beg them to cut or move trains during the peak period. It's entirely possible that they'd laugh you out of the office, because after all, they run NYP and have control over it's operations. |
