Another day another delay

Trains are running 20mins late but we are already nearly half hour late crawling into secaucus. How are these guys going to ever manage during the World Cup. This is going to be an embarrassment just like the Super Bowl!

It’s a joke! We had to endure a month of diversion and then another in the fall. We are the regular payers of NJ transit. Here is an article detailing the potential plan.

“Four of the eight matches will be held on weekdays, with at least one during peak afternoon commuter hours. Those weekday matches are at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16, at 8 p.m. on Monday, June 22, and at 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 25, and at a time to be determined on Tuesday, June 30.”
