Sorry.I'm just puzzled that he still won't acknowledge that the nudge-nudge wink-wink story that was doing the rounds in the days and weeks before the announcement of the last proposed service cuts (yes, the version I posted to Subchat) differed from that announcement *only* in this respect, and furthermore they did indeed include the cut of the south Brooklyn M that this would depend on. Things aren't necessarily unthinkable just because Wallyhorse advocates them, however tiresome his advocacy may get. And I think GP38 Chris has correctly identified the reason why that option was rejected at the time. I'm even more puzzled why he seems intent to go around trying to convince people, against the evidence of the nudge-nudge wink-wink stories, that it's not being considered this time. This time, we can even be fairly confident as to the source. And it would be absurd for it not to at least be an option on an internal scoping document. They'll have all the numbers on it already -- they just need to have various multipliers applied to the components. I don't expect a different result (the factors haven't changed that much from last time), but this is one of those things that's so obvious that it would be negligent not to consider it against other possible cuts. |
