Not enough platforms available that are long enough is one of three issues in the case of NJT. Don't know enough about LIRR operations. NJT already makes maximum use of longer trains that is possible within the constraints of available equipment and platform and serving6 routes with regular cadence. Some trains are actually shorter than the longest possible due to equipment turn and cadence issues.
