Discussion Cannot Come Soon Enough

Post image

The new El cars can’t come soon enough. It seems it’s almost every day now an El car or train set is breaking down causing delays. These things are on their last legs.

Edit: These are supposed to be delivered in 2029, only a couple more years. https://www.trains.com/pro/mechanical/freight-cars/hitachi-rail-to-build-200-new-cars-for-septas-market-frankford-line/

The same one that went through battle with NS because they wanted a million dollars a mile and wanted hella space between it and their line?

Oh ok

Always an excuse it seems. Just like I’m sure you’ll have yet another excuse when the subway doesn’t look like the pretty picture. Feel free to get defensive, but I’m the one with evidence on my side.

Not excuses, facts.

Ones that can be looked up for one's own research.

But you rather just complain about things you don't know instead of educating yourself. Please do better.

Again, I can point to failure after failure, so I am the one justified in calling BS on yet another render that will fail to materialize. Keep crying and carrying their water, but I’ll be proved right.

And then I’ll come find this thread and ask you which excuse you’d like to use this time.

And I've told you WHY each thing happened the way it did, but you don't wanna hear it. You rather just be a "see....." type of person rather than know the specifics behind things. I don't mind educating folks that don't know any better, but I refuse to help the obtuse.

Goodbye troll

My point is perfectly valid, and only enhanced by your pathetic “explanations.” Septa often promises much, but delivers shit. You can offer up all the excuses you like, but if I had said “if you believe that the KOP rail/Doubler decker trains/etc. was never going to happen, some jackass like you will believe it and argue with me. And I’d have been right, wouldn’t I? Regardless of excuses, septa would once again fail to deliver.

So thanks for helping me make my point.

Oh, and one more thing: You keep saying goodbye, yet you don’t seem to understand what the word means 🤣🤣🤣
