"Who is going to take at least a 45 minute train ride from Jamaica to GCT via Brooklyn?"Why, almost nobody. Those coming through Brooklyn would probably almost all exit at Fulton St. Instead of reversing the train, however, it could run through GCT back to Long Island. Trains going to GCT could dump almost all their passengers and then run through to Fulton Street and back to Long Island. It's more efficient and wouldn't require as much (if any) additional Manhattan storage capacity. It would also introduce a considerable flexibility that would be valuable. The new LIRR terminal at GCT could be set up to reverse trains in either direction if circumstances called for it. If the route via the ESA tunnels became unusable for any reason, passengers could go from GCT to Jamaica via Brooklyn if they had to. If the route through Brooklyn were blocked, passengers from Fulton Street could get to Jamaica via GCT. |
