Since 3969 is L9:17 pm, the bus can depart anytime 9:20-9:23 pm once it has received passengers. The 3:15 pm weekend dinky will also run. The DINKY panel card shows these trains, and when schedules are re-printed when quantity runs low, corrections will be made.
Weekday:
A 9:40 p.m. from Princeton bus dinky has been added replacing the 10:03 p.m. train (This takes twice as long, 10 instead of 5 minutes)
The 9:23 p.m. to Princeton bus dinky has been changed to 9:20 p.m.
Weekend
The 3:15 p.m. to Princeton has been removed
