So then why can't the M7's be scheduled for Flatbush/ESA and the less crowded Penn Station runs and the M7B's (for lack of a better term for my idea of bilevel M7's) for the rest of the Penn Station trainsFlexibility. There are no designated trainsets on the electric lines. A train can come from Ronkonkoma ride to Penn Station. Then it's sent to let's say Long Beach. Then that trainset is sent from Long Beach to Flatbush. Then it is sent to let's say Hempstead. Then it is sent from Hempstead to let's say Pennn Station. It may then become a Huntington Train. Then it may be sent out from Huntington (in the future) to Grand Central. The schedule allows flexibility, as a trainset can be sent anywhere on the electric territory. It would hinder the schedule and flexibility if they were forced not to be able to send some to Brooklyn or in the future Grand Central. |
