enough of Bridgeport - what of a NRO stop?

well then
thank you all for your input.

I'll pass your opinions along

It comes down to the railroad w...

Metro North appears to allow PV's into GCT and on it's property so the question is LIRR policies.

would there be any chance (money no object) to move and park a PV to Willets Point for the duation of either a US Tennis Open or World Series?

At least with the shift on 195 schedule is meshed better with my Metro North connection at NRO. At least from what I've read on local ne...
