well I caught the 7:21 from squan. good.
then the conductor asks me if I want to switch in long branch or newark... normally I switch in newark so I asked him when the connection would arrive at LB...
"8 minutes after this one," says he.
keep in mind that I am half asleep and barely know what day it is... 8 minutes vs. running down & up stairs in newark sounds okay.
so I get off at long branch. go inside to get out of the wind. see the train I just stepped off of leave. look at the schedule.
THERE IS NO TRAIN IN 8 BLOODY MINUTES!!!
the next train is at 8:24. it gets into nyc at 10:02... the one I was on gets in at 9:19.
now it's the "off-peak" train & it's chock full of loud talkin' rif-raf. not to mention it's the local-every-bloody-stop-on-the-line train.
I want to hunt down that conductor.
bright side: went & got coffee at dunkin donuts...
