[Continuation of CTRider's Miserable Commute]
So I thought we’d just be a little bit delayed. They got the train off and running with 6 cars.
Then we stopped. And sat.
After 5 minutes, the announcement proclaimed that there is a disabled train in front of us, so we’d have to back up and get on another track.
We wait another 5 minutes, then start backing up…. then we stopped again. Apparently the disabled train ahead was moved, so they said we wouldn’t have to change tracks.
Just kidding. Two minutes later, they confirmed that there is still a disabled train on the track and we started backing up again.
6:30 comes, and we’re moving east. Passing thru Greenwich, the conductor mentions that we’ve just passed TWO more disabled trains. But who cares, I’m headed home.
Nah. Now we’re stopped because the Cos Cob drawbridge is up.
Boy, my commute REALLY sucks. Time to start looking for a job closer to home. I’m pretty much fed up paying Metro-North $308 each month so that they can limp us back and forth to NYC on 30-year-old trains that are constantly breaking.
