Below is the response from the LIRR concerning the Oyster Bay branch. =========================================== ... Are there plans to reduce service on or...
I can't believe you wasted your time confirming that J MJ From: LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com [mailto:LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of yomf Sent:...
Why is that a waste of time? The way I see it, now it's "on the record". If they (the MTA) do try to scrap anything on these two branches, we could always...
I didn't mean it seriously. I guess the smiley didn't come through ;) MJ From: LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com [mailto:LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Perhaps you should stop posting now, while there is still a question of your ignorance. The MTA, like any other corporation, can change its mind. That ...
But YOMF, her response was not actually positive about those 3 branches. She just mentioned that at **least** through 2008 there will not be a need to shut...
That's only sixteen months out. Surely the MTA and its subsidiary companies have budget forecasts beyond 2008. I think she's holding back out on you....
I believe her response only covers the next budget period. The MTA has debt problems and will need more funding from the state. If they had no choice, in their...
GEEZ, we're getting a little nasty now, aren't we?? No need for that, MJ. Sarcasm is one thing, but insults are another. How is that an ignorant statement?...
My jab at Phil is part of a larger issue I have with his constant insults, including those that seem to be moderated off of the list. He meant rebuttal in the...
OK, points taken. And I'll mind my business with regards to any feuds with Phil from now on;-) (no offense Phil). It's been a while since I've been here; I'm...
Fine, I'm ignorant. We will funnel all future legal and rail-related matters to you since you know better than all of us. I hang my head in shame to have...
Below is the response from the LIRR about an inquiry asking about the supposed "schedule enhancements" for the south shore. It seems the LIRR commuters council...
Getting back to the topic, has anyone looked at this the opposite way? I mean, if the West Hempstead branch was scrapped, and the property sold, how much money...
The property that the WH branch runs on literally runs through people's backyards. There's not much that could be done with the land either. The land on...
One could also take that one step, or several steps, further. Consider the land value of the OB branch, the mainline east of Ronkonkoma or even the entire...
The real problem, as I see it, is that this short-term infusion of cash doesn't do much for the long term fortunes of the railroad. As it stands, if...
I do wish something would be done with the land right around the Lynbrook train station. It seems like a waste, with no real plan. Does anyone know what is...
New LIRR schedules go into effect Monday BY JOHN VALENTI | john.valenti@..., 12:54 AM EDT, September 5, 2007 Track work, track work -- and, more track...
--bill,your assumption is correct. the mta does own the land under the trestle,and also owns the properties where the boarded-up stores are,along with the...
-> like,along with the generally poor condition of the lynbrook station. ... Don't worry, the MTA will get to it. As a Lynbrook commuter I'm sure you will...
Wow, St Alban's has 83 riders?! That can't be! Maybe OT but at the WH station, there was a major problem with pigeons this spring/summer. A bunch just...
The question is: does St. Albans have such low ridership because of the fact that the station was in such poor condition for many years. The LIRR ignored St....
So they spent good money on something that is essentially worthless. According to the schedule, there is almost no AM peak service to Penn. Was it always like...
The LIRR has an obligation to maintain their property. If they do not and it deteriorates it can drive customers away. This is not a good way to operate. Why...
Has anyone taken a look at the "flagship" KO station recently??? First there appears to have been a MAJOR repair to the center platform, south side in the...
"Worthless" in the sense that if it was their intention to close/eliminate the station anyway, why fix it? That money could have been better spent renovating...
Ronkonkoma was touted to be a "major hub" station when it was redone and the track electrified. There was talk about shuttles and all sorts of other links to...
I am not sure it was the LIRR's explicit intention to close St. Albans - at least at the beginning. I think they just ignored it and when people began to use...
