If you go by the ESA documents, which are issued by MTA CC and LIRR, then there will be no peak service cuts when ESA is operational, and LIRR with add 24 AM trains during the peak hour while retaining full current peak hour service.However, most of us don't believe that. For one thing, ESA is approaching completion, and LIRR simply doesn't have the EMU fleet to add 24 peak trains when their monthly meeting minutes reveal that they've barely been meeting EMU car requirements for years. Word is also that LIRR means to retire its M3 fleet and replace that fleet with an M9 fleet, meaning that LIRR would have to get to MTA to sign off on a rather large capital expenditure, which seems doubtful in the present climate Don't go by hearsay. Only the non-emphasized portion above is speculative. The remainder is from official LIRR statements. |
