Wrestling fans who had long waits for NJ Transit trains after WrestleMania 35 ended were smacked down by the event’s later-than-planned ending time, agency officials said.
In a statement apologizing for the delays, NJ Transit blamed WrestleMania’s 12:30 a.m. end time, they said was two hours later than the 10:30 p.m. time agency officials were told to prepare for. Because of federal regulations, officials said, the agency was not able to have train employees work overtime to staff additional trains.
“The primary factor contributing to the post-event delays was the WWE’s decision to extend the event to 12:30 a.m., which had significant operational impacts on the evening. NJ Transit was not informed of this decision until late last night," Jim Smith, a spokesman, said in a statement Monday.
