It was going to a basement station tgat didn't alleviate any if the current issues that plague the current tunnels.

And how do you think the current plan does?

The new tunnels connect with Penn Station.
Amtrak & nj transit can use them not just nj transit like with the old plan that was canceled.
Old plan was dead end terminal not a through station where amtrak/nj transit can continue east through queens or further.
If gateway was built and something happened to existing tunnels, the new tunnels wouldn't help out with getting trains from outside of NYC/points east to anything south/west on amtrak.
