Arguably, though, service to Brooklyn and New York is frequent enough during the AM peak period that there shouldn't be a hold for connections.It's not the subway where you can just pull out. These are SCHEDULED trains on the timetable. Tell someone that is relying on those timetables that their train wasn't held. Also, many of those brooklyn trains use different stops. Some stop at Nostrand, some stop at East New York, some stop at both East NY and Nostrand, some stop at neither. And that goes for the Penn Station line too. Some stop at Woodside, some stop at FOrest Hills, some stop at Kew Gardens. Some stop at only Woodside, some stop at all three. Some stop at only two of the three. Every train is different and scheduled to connect according to timetable. You can't pull them out without the proper connection being there, as you will then have people that read the timetable, were expecting the connection, whatever it may be, and now they are stuck without that connection. |
