It's the MTA, Amtrak and NJT who say NYP is at capacity. Its 21 tracks and platforms, never mind the tunnels, were not built for the absurd amount of commuter traffic it currently hosts—when it first opened, it was supplemented by the waterfront terminal formerly at Exchange Place, and the contents of two other waterfront terminals were not shoe-horned into it. Even before NJT's wonderful Waterfront Connection, it was evident that more trains would mean slower service—and NJT's NEC trains are 10 mph slower in terms of average speed, never mind the other lines that now feed into it from the Hoboken Division. |
