The question of insufficient capacity arises occasionally when discussing the Downeaster. Two solutions usually get proposed: add more trains, or: add cars to existing trains. Both require funding yet to be identified AFAIK. What platforms would nee to be made longer in order to accomodate a longer train without making a double stop?
I think the two in Mass. are long enough to accomodate more cars. What about the others? Is there even room to do so if the idea were to become a plausible solution to insufficient capacity?
