Posted by Joe V on Thu Jun 2 16:40:02 2022, in response to LIRR draft schedules for service to “Grand Central Madison”, posted by Spider-Pig on Thu Jun 2 15:45:05 2022. I have been studying them the last couple of hours.I think they will have to give in about more peak trains from Long Island to Brooklyn, like a few Far Rockaway. Strange that Far Rockaway is mostly a GCT branch on weekdays, but a NYPS branch on weekends. Oyster Bay on weekends remains in the dust, and an unusbale service, 2 hour intervals and a 3 hour one. They could run a 90 minute interval wiht the same 2 train sets with a little thought. All the off-peak Huntingtons are all stop locals. Port Jeff shuttles go back to 90 minutes, but still a very slow trip. At least the South Shore diesels connect with faster MU's or run direct. Stopping all the weekend Ronkonkoma's at Elmont is overkill. 4+ hour gap reverse peak remains out of Port Jeff itself, or you have to Suffolk Transit yourself to Stony Brook for an intermediate train. Same train never stops at both Kew Gardens and Forest Hills. Nothing wrong about that. |
