Nilet - Maybe this point has been covered before. I do not understand WHY the MTA would rather some riders exit at 125th Street?Why is the 125th Street station treated differently than other stations? My question has NOTHING to do with the behavior of conductors, legalisms about "theft of service", or the quirks of the New Haven line versus the Hudson or Harlem trains, or peak or non-peak tickets. Why is the 125th Street station treated differently than other stations? Is this due to a history of commuter railroads gnerally attempting to leaving "inside of city" train travel to local transit agencies, or some "other factor"? From another message: "Posted by italianstallion on Sun Aug 6 19:36:39 2017, in response to Re: On-Duty Metro-North Conductor Arrested, posted by AlM on Sun Aug 6 19:32:17 2017. As you know, the New Haven line was originally the NH Railroad, while the Harlem line was NY Central. I believe the restriction has to do with the respective rights of these 2 roads to serve various stations. I suspect the NYC did not want the NHRR poaching its Harlem line passengers for 125th and Fordham, and the NHRR dod not want its trains burdened with people traveling within NYC." Is the "poaching of riders" really a grave concern when it comes to a unified Metro-North transportation system? Or is this issue mostly about the contract that New Haven Railroad had or currently has that imposes drop off restrictions at Fordham Road and 125th Street? Mike |
