Posted by NIMBYkiller on Mon Apr 16 17:49:01 2007, in response to Re: Abandoned LIRR stations, posted by J trainloco on Sun Apr 15 19:14:55 2007. Neither the current nor previous services prove shit. There are only 5 trains serving LIC in each direction. The ferry connections are even worse. Boats leave every 50 minutes, at 6:35, 7:25, 8:15, and 9:05. That means for the first train, you're waiting 40 minutes. Second train, better pray it's on time. 3rd train(from OB) and the 4th train, your waiting 20-30 minutes. Last train=you miss last boat.So basically, only one train is useful. That's not going to get riders. There needs to be better coordination. And again, I'm saying keep it as a valve. I don't see the point in throwing in a 5th track to Woodside(which, once again, will screw up the flow when you connect it to the Port Washington line since something will be going against the grain). Once ESA and NYP fill up, and the main line is maxed out, start using the lower montauk. Also, this is purely speculation, but if Sunnyside Station IS built, then some here believe it will mean HPA will be closed. If that's the case, then good. Now you can use the main line strictly for Manhattan bound trains, and once that and the Brooklyn are maxed out, LIC via lower Montauk it is |
