More one seat ride trains from Bay Head to NYC should exist, first of all. And then Amtrak should hire a Metro North train scheduler to re-do the whole NJCL schedule. I like it when Long Branch WAS just a stop before electrification. Now NJT has created four (if not more) series of trains on the NJCL, which is ridiculous, increases crew base costs (where an opportunity could exist to decrease), and under utilizes the equipment (et alone by maintaining two yard operations within 20 miles). With the dual modes - restore operations to what existed before electrification - only put the pans UP at Long Branch.
