Re: Wifi?

I think it's a nice amenity. It might even get me to buy an ipad. The main downside I see is that when it is slow, or it breaks, the customers will, of course, blame NJT. And when it works well, NJT won't get any credit--people feel entitled to wifi these days. But I think it's like air conditionin...

So the pascack valley, Main, Bergen and Port Jervis get the most snow and don't lose service? Makes no sense.

NJ Tran$it is in Metro North's pocket with the fare hike and made sure those lines were clear.

It's taken them over 3 years since they moved in but they have finally started their new building construction for E&S Foods. Started in the summer and now the building that was virtually on South Jefferson is gone. The original link to the daily record doesn't work anymore but there was a menti...

Temperatures were over 100 degrees yesterday in some parts of the state yesterday. But a quick scan of the news I didn't see any delays or malfunctioning trains this time around. If you recall the train that literally shut itself down in Elizabeth in 2010 after reaching 135 degrees inside,and the 20...

Re: M&E to rehab tracks to Harrison Ave??

Maybe related to the clearing of the channel spur as well?

The school isn't the only place they would need a crossing, there is a very small golf practice range just east of the school that also tore up the rails when they built a driveway to their parking lot.

Channel Spur Cleared Off

Driving on Route 10 East and saw the vegetation has been removed right down the now exposed tracks of the old Channel spur, now a Kraft office building. Probably have not seen the tracks in a decade. Could M&E be looking to remove the rails?

It was designed by somebody who only had a ruler.

It makes the hackettstown station look like it's so close to the PA border, where are they going to fit in Andover?

Anyone have a list of what stations have the optimum wifi hotspot?

As far as WiFi on the trains themselves I was hoping to see something that airplanes have like Boingo and avoid the cable companies altogther, just another excuse to raise the TV bill.

Driving south on South Jefferson Road in Whippany, just passed the E&S foods building is a construction sign saying on 7/20 the road (at the crossing) will be closed for repairs.

Still waiting for crossing at Ridgedale Ave to be repaired that one is just as bad, if not worse.

Any chance we'll see numbers for Weekend ridership?

I suppose those numbers could be quite irratic but interesting none the less..
