It actually does increase capacity, for weekends. The two gateway tunnels will allow for a better card of weekend service - the schedule is currently hamstrung by needing to handle a one tunnel shut down. Thus, all the trains go in each direction in bunches rather than evenly spaced out, and there is no room for the RVL.With a total of four tunnels, there would be no problem handling a nice weekend schedule with even two shut down. |
