Phillipsburg also agreeable doesn't do much, but a service from Allentown that operates express once reaching NJ could put a dent in Transbridge. Lackawanna Cutoff also can knock out a chunk of Martz service and the other smaller Pocono operators. The ones that can really do damage though are:1. Atlantic Highlands - Academy is running 10 minute headways on Rt 36. 2. West Shore/Northern Branch - Red & Tan, NJT, and Rockland Coaches all run this entire area 3. Rebuilding the line along Rt 17 between Middletown and and Central Valley - Shortline's service through here is mind boggling The last 2 would mean getting a tunnel into lower Manhattan, but getting that accomplished opens the door for other Hoboken division branches to operate into Manhattan as well. That knocks out a chunk of bus routes (reduced service at the very least) along the Main, Bergen, PVL, and Port Jervis as well as the 2 previously mentioned new services. |
