Reply to comment by lispenard1676 in Grand Central Madison, 15 stories underground, saves LIRR riders little time compared to Penn Station commute by bikeskata

I thought that MN can’t share tracks because they’re at capacity, they have no tracks to spare. I’ve never heard that GCT has “so much extra capacity”

GCT covers Westchester and some of CT, no commercial, no intercity, and has more platforms than any other railroad station in the world.

They had a train to Montreal for a while.

But idk if that was temporary due to the Moynihan stuff. Either way, Idt Amtrak services to Canada have resumed since the pandemic.

There were trains to Montreal that left out of GCT for a while.

Also - looks like it’s resuming soon. The train to Toronto already resumed, per my Googling.

GCT literally has the most tracks of any train station in the world.
