Posted by E and F and sometimes J on Fri Mar 23 17:54:49 2012, in response to "LIRR: Jamaica Capacity Improvements"{Brooklyn Scoot} & "Fulton St T.C.; Next Great Destination", posted by gold_12TH on Fri Mar 23 14:26:46 2012. In 1832 the LIRR stretched from Atlantic Terminal to Jamaica. In 1837 it was extended to Hicksville. Instituting one-seat Brooklyn Jamaica service.Whatever good or bad will come from this service rearrangement it must be stated that this will be the historic end of one seat service form Brooklyn through Jamaica to Hicksville and beyond that began in 1837. 187 years of a commuting tradition will come to an end in 2017, and until East Side Access opens one year later this will be the most visible service change in the modern history of the LIRR. |
