Service to Penn Station will be reduced, so as the project name suggests, it will benefit commuters who want to go to the east side. There won't be a connection between Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal. They claim Metro-North could run into Penn, but it's not clear how, except via Sunnyside, which seems like the long way around.

Ugh , Metro North will run down the Hell Gate & West Side lines into Penn Station , only slight upgrades are needed for this....its not that long a way....

Yes All LIRR lines would go into GCT , of course not all services....and this would allow for some lines to be restored like the Central Branch , Wading River Branch and and Rockaway Beach line.
