I agree, I think they would have to move the Yaphank station about a mile east from Yaphank Ave, to the east end of Yaphank at William Floyd Parkway, as there is much more room there for the necessary lot. There's not much room at the current Yaphank location. But that said, that would instantly put electrification immediately north of Mastic Shirley, and a short 5-10 minute drive along William Floyd Parkway.Medford does have room for expansion just east of the current location, so that location probably could continue to be used. Holtsville may be a good location to put a station, but that would remain to be seen. The space is there at the old station site, which is sort of industrial. Interestingly, the access to most of these stations are good, as the LIE is right there, making getting to these stations easy. |
