Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Jul 20 17:33:40 2012, in response to LIRR and Metro North service improvements : "2012–2013 Service Investments", posted by Gold_12TH on Thu Jul 19 15:54:36 2012. That Port Jefferson service improvement should also include restoring the 4:05 PM train from Port Jefferson as an express to Jamaica, instead of the current shuttle to Huntington. This was necessitated because they needed a shuttle to cover for this particular peak train from HP after it was eliminated. I've had considerable experience with this train, and when Stony Brook is open, it's a packed train. Turning it into a transfer at Huntington was a disaster.I also note no restoration of half hourly service on the Port Washington branch. This will not sit well with many. I like the idea of having all Poughkeepsie trains running fully express south of Croton, instead of having them provide service to Ossining, Tarrytown and Yonkers, as most do off peak. |
