Judging from past experience I think 30 minute "system wide" delays would optimistic. On behalf of the LIRR and MTA I would like to express apologies and ...
As I'm working until 9:45 or so Tuesday evening, I'll be making a 10:15 or 10:23 on Tuesday night ... should I get all worked up now, or should I see what...
Yep, optimistic would be an understatement, I predict that at least ONE train is delayed for no less than two hours, causing widespread delays system wide for...
I though that this morning as I was writing my monthly check for my fail and ride that I should make it out fir the amount less $5.59 that's OK right. John R...
This is at the "best" possible time for the LIRR also - mid week. If July 4th was on a Saturday the preceeding Friday would be an absolute madhouse. Just wait...
What happened this morning through Jamaica at around 7:40? Nothing was on time. Was anything cancelled? There was a 7:47 express to Penn but was taken down....
Part of me would like to say the LIRR might as well post delay notices TODAY, for the early rush hour tomorrow, but that would be sarcastic of me. The issue...
I'll go for an initial 30 minutes, followed by 45-60 minutes, sustained that way for several hours (after 8 PM or so), before things become "on or close to...
But WHY do all the extra trains on the Montauk branch end at Babylon??? I do not understand this. It is as if they think the bulk of the holiday travelers...
The extra trains are for Babylon riders, not Montauk. The trains are designed with the RVC-Babylon crowd in mind. While there's a need for some extra Montauk...
The LIRR apparently still believes that Suffolk County is all potato fields and has a population of 500,000 (about 1/3 what it really is). Does the LIRR really...
Very funny, MJ - but seriously, during the winter Holidays it is an inconvenience but during the summer Holidays, it is common sense that the bulk of the extra...
So you mean they "modernized" yet went three steps backwards? LMAO! Gotta love the Fail Road...money well spent...YOURS! Incompetence...thy name is the Fail...
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a shortage, but I don't know of any particular one at the moment. Even if they couldn't run DM extras, an extra or two...
I am not familiar with the area in question, but couldn't the RR build some summertime temporary platforms, at least for the more popular stops. At least then...
Yes, I know we all love to go off on the LIRR, but now I have a real serious dilemma. Tomorrow, I need to get to Kennedy. Normally this is not a big deal, but...
... Yes there is! On one of the more recent "go arounds" about the poor service east of KO, 2 "officials" from the LIRR stated they do not have enough Diesel...
I am not sure where you are coming from in the city, but I happen to be on E line. I head in one direction to go to Penn and the other to go to Jamaica. The...
You don't say exactly where your office is, but there are several ways to get to Jamaica in order to meet the Airtrain. The E, J and Z lines can be used if...

I vote for the AirTrain. I work at the 66th Street station on the #1 line and have made it from touch-down at JFK to my office in one hour. Granted, I had...

Just a thought about the Cannonball and what it represents to the RR. I might have posted similar thoughts a year ago but I feel compelled to throw it out...
How about you just call in sick, and leave for JFK at 7 AM, this way you are sure to get there on time ************************************** See what's free...
I just did this with an unwitting participant. One of my co-workers was on the same train I was on. We had to change at Jamaica. He switched to the train to...
