It should have been built with an island platform for instant transfers.Which complicates the piecemeal electrification approach. Not only do you add the headache of dealing with electrifying the line, you also need to re-align the line and the station for an island platform at each new electric service terminal. BTW, if anything, the LIRR should really contemplate advancing some of the third track work around Mineola to build an island platform to allow for Oyster Bay shuttles in lieu of running to Jamaica off-peak. |
