Trains using platform F will not have connections. When you get to Jamaica you just have to wait for the next scheduled train to your destination. The idea was to have a train every 15 min to Jamaica so that you wouldn’t need connections, basically like the Air Train service.

They will need to add some switches in queens right? Coming west from bellrose I don’t think you would be able to platform a train on ML3 where the station is supposed to be.

Even the president has to punch out?? How embarrassing! President of the LIRR is 24/7 365 days a year job. It just goes to show you how beyond help this whole bureaucracy has fallen. How sad. I wonder if they carry a portable bio metric scanner for him to use while off proprty on business trips? Aft...

As a new Transportation Manager if I have to “punch out” does that mean I can then turn off my cell phone and not be available to be called In? What’s the point of punching out as a manager if I’m still “subject to duty”?

That serves no one, it doesnt save the taxpayer any mone...

Home terminal isn’t just going to go away because it’s unpopular or by a ruling from a judge. It was agreed to by both sides and if one side is no longer happy with it they can negotiate a proper payment for it to go away. Don’t hold your breath, it will cost a fortune to get ride of home terminal.

Just a heads up, a lot of things that Datenail says are “definitely going to happen” usually don’t happen. Just do a search of his posts circa 2009-2011 and you will see what I mean.
