What the hell is happening with NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line service today? How is there no westbound service between Metropark and Trenton from at least 11 AM to 2 PM?

Four more NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line cancelations, including three crew availability cancelations, have been announced since my initial post ≈ 45 mins ago.

Not a great start to the week, NJ Transit.

Engineer availability issues once again plaguing NJ Transit on the day after a Meadowlands event.

Riders need NJ Transit to offer greater transparency and a detailed plan to fix this.

Yet another example of the platform canopy leaks:

Another example of a leaking canopy:

#NJTRANSIT’s Trenton Transit Center is an unfortunate symbol of Trenton’s underinvestment in and lack of oversight of NJ Transit. Leaking platform canopies and decaying platform sections are the product of years of capital fund raids and deferred maintenance.

Equipment reliability continues to bedevil #NJTransit Rail Operations with fleet mean distance between failures (MDBF) falling to 48,959 miles in October 2024. The Multilevel IIIs won’t begin entering service until at least mid-2025, so it’s imperative for the agency to find a way to fix this ASAP.

As I start out on this platform hoping for a brighter, more beautiful tomorrow, I share with you a sunrise photo of a #NJTransit train from the station platform in Metuchen, NJ.
