My train was only a couple of minutes late. Nothing to make any difference in my day. (Although arriving on a LIRR track was somewhat disorienting!)
Kudos to NJT. |

Evidently LIRR is not running into Penn Station at all and Metro North has lots of delays, so NJT folks are the lucky ones this time! |

Just saw Mergele's post ... maybe not so lucky after all. (I was just quoting what I heard on the radio.) |

My husband was still waiting in Maplewood at 8:33 for the 7:20 (?) Mid-town direct. A few trains to Hoboken had gone past. NJT website describes all sorts of delays out on the southern and western ends of the Mid-town Direct line. A minimum delay of 60 minutes |

SO announced 35 - 40 min delays but the 8.22 arrived at 8.38, almost empty: not so bad after all. |

The 6:10 to Hoboken was a few minutes late. NY Waterway was running on schedule. The 6:05 MTD train pulled into MW about five minutes late as well.
Usually it is the early trains that have problems because they have to be dug out of the yards at the end of the line and the crews may have trouble getting to their posts on time. Obviously, this wasn't the case this time. |

Along with several hundred of my fellow commuters, I arrived for the 7:39 thinking 'business as usual.' Waited, freezing, for nearly an hour, letting a few Hobokens pass us by. Eventually we were told there would be NO NY trains. (It would have been nice to know earlier, so we could have boarded a Hoboken!) THEN came an announcement that the NEXT Hoboken train would be something like 43 minutes late. That meant that if everything went perfectly from that moment on, the morning's commute would have taken 2 3/4 hours minimum. A bit much, don't you think? (We went home.) |

That makes no sense, though, as there certainly were NY trains. |

As I was leaving, I saw what MUST have been a NY train (because it was long) blow thru. But in the hour we were at the station (roughly 7:30-8:30), no NY trains stopped in Maplewood, just that one Hoboken. Not too swift at rush hour. |
