... No kidding. It was a 190+ million waste of effort, at best. At worst, it would have been the dumping ground for the DE/DM-30 fleet (which is what they...

Just remember that the LIRR still hasn't heard about the potato blight 40 some years ago. That's why Mr. Dermody and his friends keep dumping on the PJ line -...
Looks like more and more angry commuters are coming out of the woodwork...I wonder if the LIRR will dipute the numbers of a statistician...mmmmm...OTP is great...
There are many ways one could measure the On Time Performance of the LIRR. Lateness could be mesaured by individual, train, minutes and expressed as the total...
Enough with the lawyer-talk. Late is late. Example: Sched says train leaves Penn at 4:00PM, I get there 3:55, I am early. Said train leaves at 4:03PM...TRAIN...
There was nothing lawyerly about what was written. If you can't deal with the fact that your lateness, out-of-context, means nothing to anyone else, then you...
LIRR definitions of on-time are strange. I sort of understand the 5:59 late at final destination nonsense, even if I don't agree. But when your at station...
Normally I'd agree with you, but in extreme weather, both are bad. ... From: "Yeoh Yiu" <squid@...> To: <LIRRCommuters@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday,...
In reality, if the train is even one minute early or later than its scheduled time, it is early or later for purposes of planning your trip. If I am waiting ...
EXACTLY! Who cares how the LIRR reports its stats. All I know is that if it's not there yet at the given/ballpark/whatever time when I'm on time for it, it's...
Your reasoning should be the reason that all commuters DO care about how the LIRR reports its OTP. You, and all commuters, know when you are late. It happens...
The point I was trying to get across is that there is a distinction between the real time information they provide you and the OTP numbers. While I am on the ...

OTP, Haven't we beaten this horse to death in the past? Instead of spending money on better statistics, shouldn't they be spending it on trying to correct the...
As long as the LIRR is putting out their false numbers every month this "horse" will not be dead. As Ian mentiuond, it the stats are in a computer there are a...
And why would additional money be needed to provide better statistics? Give me the information, I could dump it into excel and provide a number of different ...
First, the railroad should be able to provide us with the raw numbers. Why don't they put on their website each train, and for each day last month the...
Well, sometimes stopping and taking a step back can be quite enlightening. I was on vacation last week, and I was in our other offices for most of the prior...
... I'm pretty sure he drives in. BTW. With all the talk about Demody's "eastern LI starts @ rte 110" comment I was suprised to hear that he allegedly lives...
I wonder if we could get Dictionary.com to change the definition to read "delayed: The MTA is late." I'd say the failroad, but I believe they stoke a special...

Just a note to add to this story. When you read the article you will see a quote from Sam Zambuto at the LIRR stating that the LIRR has no plans to abandon...
The main point, that the MTA and LIRR, just do not seem to get is that people on eastern L.I. are not happy with the lack of service. Yet, when asked, their...

The platform announcement system will usually say that a train is on time until it's 6 minutes late. But if you check with a ticket agent they have a separate...

I know this is somewhat off topic, but that is the same problem people have with the airlines; there should be one real time system. The last time I was in...
It really depends on what station you're at. All the Babylon line stations (that still have ticket agents) have the booth downstairs, under the platform. The...
