NYCTRailfanning Posted June 15, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2022 With the current plan of the East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal promises to double the amount of trains on the Babylon Branch, and a route from: Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, and all the way to Grand Central. My question is: How are they going to do this in the time of the end of the year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted June 16, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 16, 2022 Your question is kind of confusing.. If your asking if they will have enough trains, they will bring the M3s back into service until there's enough M9s to replace them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a question: wouldn’t the M3s be restricted to Atlantic Terminal-Jamaica Shuttles and the trips to/from Penn Station? I think I read somewhere that only M7s and M9s could go to Grand Central via the LIRR 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the M3s too but it seems like this preference is the exception not the norm. LIRR riders despise the M3s I like all three equally for the most part. By the time I had money to fan commuter rail routes routes the M7s had taken over and the M1s were long gone so getting the M3s were an treat because they are kind of uncommon if you aren't a regular rider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand the knee-to-knee seating in the middle of the M7s and M9s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M9A order will fully replace the M3s. Since the M9A is heavily delayed and there is no manufacturer willing to build, the M3s will stay for quite some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
