Re: Tour of East Side Abscess New LIRR Terminal Taking Shape Beneath Grand Central Terminal

From a customer service standpoint it's justifiable to keep them operationally separate. MNRR (at least East of Hudson) has well maintained, clean equipment and stations as well as very good off peak scheduling. I also appreciate the vending machines and easy to find trash/recycling bins at almost every station.

LIRR equipment is dirty and has a much shorter shelf life than the MNRR equivalent. Some stations are at least getting a face lift but many of them are still crumbling messes. The off peak schedules are erratic (though at least better than NJT). The only things I prefer about LIRR are their via-ticketing and that they have recently trended towards opening all cars on most trains regardless of time of day (except for 12 car trains, they'll still close the last 2).
