I just remember it being on one of the local news programs. I believe it was after he was elected, and not specifically part of his campaign.
I could search around for a clip but I doubt I'd find anything.
Agreed that it is a cost issue, and there are probably other costs that are more important right now, I just brought it up cause I was pretty sure I had heard that a while back.
Maybe some of the other posters can help me out with this. Wasn't there a time at least 10 years ago, maybe more, when we did have the occasional train late at night? Possibly (probably) as rare as once an hour, but for some reason I thought I remembered that existing.
Maybe they were just out of service trains, moving them about. But, maybe not.
Yeah, I just brought it up cause it surprised me back when I heard it. It's a great idea if possible, but like you said, cost issue.
As far as maintenance goes, do you know what kind of maintenance is done at nights? It can't take very long as often there is only a 5 hour window or so. Maybe one of the transit buffs know.
