"LIRR East Side Access will no doubt create opportunities for New Haven Line service into Penn as some LIRR trains switch to GCT"

"False. We've been here before."

The opportunities may be scarce, but they will appear. Let's not assume any great growth, either. If ridership remains flat or actually decreases (as has just happened), or the third mainline LIRR track is NOT built to Hicksville (we have to get past the NIMBY's first), trains going into Grand Central will be trains that used to go into either Penn Station New York or Brooklyn. Those slots would then be available for Metro North trains. Again, maybe not too many opportunities, but enough to put to rest this idea that NO trains can ever come from Connecticut.
