Today is Friday, September 27, marking the end of yet another stressful work week, oh thank god it’s Friday, I think our world needs it! While I don’t have the time to do a proper post on these things, I did want to write something, so here it is, a couple of nice links to check out over your weekend. I’m hoping to post again soon.
I’d say the most interesting of the bunch, I made an article on this earlier, the MTA recently released the capital program, and for those of you that may not have seen it, here’s it. Unfortunately, a lot of my good predictions were wrong.
Another interesting one, Babylon will be receiving a bunch of improvements, which will mean that the usual 12-car platform will be reduced to 6 cars for the time being, I highly recommend you check this one out since it’s nice to hear.
An Amtrak train’s set of wheels derailed off the tracks, resulting in chaos and delays during Wednesday’s PM Rush.
And finally, to finish off your Friday afternoon commute, Metro-North to roll out a new pilot test program that will allow you to scan a QR code and it will lead you to a survey which will let the cleaning team know in real-time when a bathroom needs to be cleaned. It will be available on select stations and train cars on the New Haven, Hudson, & Harlem lines.
Anyways, there isn’t too much going on as far as service changes go this weekend, however, on The Port Jervis Line, from 12:30 AM Saturday to 11:59 PM Sunday, trains will not run between Suffern & Port Jervis, however, busitutions will be available. While I’m not gonna report on all the subway service changes, you can look on MTA.info for more information.
