HA! And I am sure the study will be money well spent and be beneficial to them in the long run. ;-) In all seriousness, I feel the Fail Road has done a...

Sorry Phil but this happens fairly often. Your first mistake was listening to anything announced on TV. I have found they are almost never updated regularly....
Ohhhh I know. I just like to complain. I'm out at 4 today so we'll see. Hopefully things will be better. Then again, the 419 is a dual mode, it could become...

Better late than never, but the TA has had a policy of "burying" trains and altering service in anticipation of major snowstorms for a long time - the flyers...
