Now they are saying a "smoke condition" and we are stuck with other trains in front of us. Probably can't switch tracks at this point. Lovely. My god the LIRR sucks.
Of course nice 20 minute E train delay was right on schedule when I finally got to Penn. Ended up to be a 52 minute late LIRR train, a 20 minute delay on the E led to a nice 2hr and 30min commute door to door.
I am disputing my monthly ticket with my credit card this month. I am tired of being pissed on by the LIRR. I would advise everyone else who was severely impacted to do the same.
While I don't expect to win a credit card dispute, the MTA will still have to waste administrative time and manpower fighting the dispute and if they get enough credit card disputes against their merchant account I am sure they will be tagged with a bunch of fees from their bank. Enough already!
Aren't you asking for it? I mean how large will such a thread grow?
The LIRR is regularly and summarily late. When I took the train, we had many days where it ran 10 mins late into Penn or Hunters Point. Not huge, but enough. Many days.
I saved all the service notifications for one year into my email folder—and it was just the Babylon and Montauk lines. There were a good few thousand.
I've written this many times here....its seems that the majority of delays are from the Amtrak east side tunnel.If I had to throw in a %...its 60...maybe even 70% of all big delays are east side tunnel. Jamaica issues is the 2nd most popular root of delay. It seems like 9/10 delays are from those two possible cause of delays
So the 8:10 Freeport train which I was planning on taking...e-mail alert that is was cancelled came in at what, 8:23? Makes sense. Unreal. What more can you say about this? Can't wait for the cold weather.

I wish I had paid with a credit card...
Anyone else want to be an apologist of the LIRR? No? Didn't think so.
