I think in reference to Southampton College, they may have been looking at the old LIU to put up funds for the construction of the high level platform, which they probably refused. So that was that.Economics did have a lot to do with why they closed the 1998 stations. (Aside from the LIC local stations, which probably unfortunately should have been abandoned years earlier, as they weren't even really stations at most of the sites. Glen Street on the Oyster Bay branch was on the original 1998 list, not because of patronage (it had great patronage), but because of the extra cost involved in constructing a station high level platform there on a sharp curve. Bellport (Because of extreme OPPOSITE of NIMBY opposition) and Glen Street were the only two stations to to survive after being on the original 1998 list. |
