Que? No comprendo su pregunta. Por favor clarifique la pregunta para yo ayúdele. Gracias.

The transfer at Long Branch from diesel to electric is right across, like 9-10 feet in front of you. Easy to buy tickets in the morning? Waiting is a *****. Long Branch station has vending machines and booths. Should be the same for Point Pleasant, NY Penn and all the station owned by NJ Transit. If not, good luck in your endeavor.

When is "this early in the morning"?

I suggest making a special trip to Penn Station and buying your ticket when you won't be pressed for time. It's worth it, just in case the vending machines malfunction. There are usually long lines for the machines, and worse for the agents.

009 is correct -- you just cross the platform to change trains. Making a mistake is all but impossible.
