"The advantage of through routing the NJT and MNRR services is that you don't need any extra NYP slots"So you send an AM rush NJT train that is now goes to Sunnyside to New Haven instead. That's nice, but is doesn't get you a slot, and adds only reverse peak service on MNRR. The other way around, there are no inbound AM rush East River tunnels slots available, there are no NJT runs from Sunnyside to piggyback onto, so you cannot add MN service to NYPS in the peak direction. Ditto the above arguments in the PM rush, just reverse the directions. You haven't solved any problems. "dwell need not exceed the time necessary to get the passengers off the train." Each railroad will demand a substantial cushion so as not to magnify delays on one side of the Hudson to the other side. "I don't think it takes people 10 minutes to disembark. " You need to watch an NJT 10 car MLV train some morning. It takes 10 minutes to clear the train, platform, and stairs. Forget about reversing the escalators. |
