Posted by trainsarefun on Tue Mar 4 22:38:25 2008, in response to Re: Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Mar 4 22:00:45 2008. I don't see LIRR people using it efficiently if they have to take a train to Jamaica, then a potential transfer at Jamaica for a train to Woodside (as many LIRR trains skip Woodside)After ESA is operational, I think more trains will make the stop at Woodside. I concede that Airtrain would have more connections at Woodside, but the route from Flushing is more obvious to pull off, I think, with little NIMBYism potential. But I understand why they're hoping for Woodside. If it comes down to a choice between Flushing and no Airtrain, I hope they go for Flushing. LIRR operates a decent amount of service on the Pt Washington Branch, plus if they used LIRR ROW to get Airtrain out of Downtown Flushing, put an LGA stop at Shea Stadium, change the station name to LGA Airtrain/Citifield, and run a NYP-LGA Airtrain shuttle that makes the intermediate stop at Woodside. I'm just trying to cut costs, if possible, and the dedicated shuttle seems it could really score convenience points. |
