I see the process regularly. Dwell times for connecting trains are high. Getting trains to specific tracks to facilitate an across-the-platform transfer, especially in the PM peak, also eats up time. One train not arriving on time west of Jamaica can have a very quick ripple effect.Of course it causes a ripple. And that's why I said any change in scheduling creates huge ripple effects. If a train is late, that becomes a tidal wave. You can't just say "oh just change the train a few minutes", as that one train shifts can cause the necessity of train shifts all around the system, and those shifts cause new problems. |
