You'll be sitting on a SEPTA train (or at a station) and the train will just zoom by; I don't know if it's the T/O just not caring (as it seems they must not get in trouble?), trying to get on schedule (which won't happen anyway), or just having the logic that if theres nobody on the platform, than nobody's going to get off there (and in most cases, nobody is on the platform). Also, it could just be that the T/O doesn't even notice the "station" :P :wink:
Matt, could be a flag stop. SEPTA does more of these than NJT.

Oh yeah, I remember reading about that incident in here. Must have been about 6 months ago.
