Why is the 125th Street station treated differently than other stations?I don't know that it really is all that different; yes, a majority of trains are marked in the schedule as not carrying local passengers within Manhattan, but that policy is at best questionably enforced. 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"? They clearly don't want to restrict travel within the city; the Hudson and Harlem lines have 8 and 9 stops within city limits respectively, and there's no shortage of local trains that make all of them. That said, every southbound train that stops at 125th is marked as either "discharge only" or "primarily discharge, may leave ahead of schedule." Perhaps they fear that if a substantial 125-GCT market develops, they'll face pressure to conform to schedule for that service? Is the "poaching of riders" really a grave concern when it comes to a unified Metro-North transportation system? No, but the "no intra-Manhattan travel" markings aren't unique to the New Haven line. Harlem and Hudson trains have them too. |
