Cosmetically, yes, for LAX. Functionally, no. Too few shopping venues, eateries and lounges. Too long a distance from the gates to the main terminal.Los Angeles Union Station is also nice as well!
I like it. It has charm.
I voted for Penn Station too. Charm or no charm, since my primary interest is in rail operations and the complexity of operations at Penn Station is absolutely fascinating. Compared to it the other two come nowhere near in that aspect.I like it. It has charm.
Penn has the charm of a public restroom on Times Square. It serves the purpose, but it is not a place where people want to linger just for the pure pleasure of being in the building. You go to Penn, get on your train, and get out of Dodge ASAP.I like it. It has charm.
I second that :lol: !
Know weve had this thread before but FWIW, CHI would be my first choice IF the Great Hall was used by Amtrak and the Metro Lounge was expanded! Of course my personal choice would be to implode NYP and use GCT for the West/North trains like in the old days, all that money put into a beautiful Commuter station while NYP looks like away station in some third world nation! LAX could also be made world class as others have said, the basics are sure there! Looks like NYP is coming on strong, proof that New Yawkers will put up with anything if its in Manhattan! :lol:
You haven't ever seen a way station in the third world, have you?NYP looks like a way station in some third world nation!
Actually I have, I was refering to the crowding, the gross bathrooms and the general dreariness of the place especially @ night! I have ridden trains all over Mexico and of course rural stations cant compare to major city terminals! Your link didnt work, Im very familiar with the pics from India etc. but really was using a little hyperbole to kid the New Yawkers about Manhattan, NYP does what it should, still I think its a disgrace as our major station in the Big Apple! NYP could be like GCT if theyd just do it (imploding MSG is not a bad idea!I do remember the old Penn Station, it was impressive!!!)You haven't ever seen a way station in the third world, have you?NYP looks like a way station in some third world nation!
Here is a picture of an example

MRC? :huh:No points for guessing which I voted for
Wow, the hike that we had in Chicago to catch the CZ was far beyond anything at LA.Cosmetically, yes, for LAX. Functionally, no. Too few shopping venues, eateries and lounges. Too long a distance from the gates to the main terminal.Los Angeles Union Station is also nice as well!
