Whenever the NEC is shut down the West Trenton bypass would have saved so many people. If I had the option to be dropped off at Newark vs just getting stuck. I would choose newark. Plus pushing less service through trenton would better. Most people in mercer/ somerset would choose to take thew new l...

So right now if you go to the "next to arrive" for Trenton. It shows trains scheduled to arrive. But if you go to the home page , its says the line is suspended. Which doesnt necessary means trains are not running. I check NJT site and it clearly states that trains are cancelled. Why cant ...

Extend the dinky into west windsor. Have a park and ride across from the mall on southfield road. This would be perfect 2nd station for parking and more riders Possibly extend it as far as exit 8.

The parking factor is whats important . If a parking garage near 295 in trenton was built. It would be so much better for parking and ridership.

I know in Trenton and New York Penn , they do boarding cycles, however how come the boarding cycles are not listed for places like Princeton junction which can take 5 minutes or more to complete ? Is this because only NY and Trenton are considered main stations . Train tend to arrive at there depart...

Mr Trump does not strike me as a detail man( to put it mildly). While he may " openly lament the lack of high-speed rail in the United States", I'm pretty sure he would have no idea of the costs or logistics involved. In 8 years what did Obama do, nothing. Im sure if they dedicated money ...

If you look at the amtrak 2030 plan, it appears the track will be used as a high speed bypass for acelas, to keep traffic off the nec to nyc. But who knows ?

There's two reasons for that, and both of them come from the better parts of human nature. 1) It's better to give the benefit of the doubt to a person than to reflexively blame a person. 2) There's no easy fix for human error, nor is there psychological peace of mind about it.
