Connecting the SIR to a Subway trunk route is ultimately a bit of a waste. It runs short trains on long headways over a two-track line with lots of stops with fairly evenly spread ridership, ending at an outer terminal from which it is virtually impossible to extend the line in search of more ridership. Or, in other words, the subway trains could only ever be viable north of St George, depending on people transferring from beese and (potentially) both rail lines. Hence my rather strange attempt to design an extremely busy commuter rail line. |
