Local Larchmont blog GetinLoop.com wonders what the deal is with the digital lightboards at Larchmont station (and perhaps other stations). The lightboards show the date, a reader points out, but not the time, the pending arrival of a train, or other more pertinent train station info.
I am sometimes forgetful, but I’ve never found myself running to the train station hoping to catch the June 1st, or the July 8th, only to be disappointed that it is really June 27th... If they aren’t going to display the time, why waste the money to put those silly lightboards up in the first place. Could it be that Metro North doesn’t want us to know what time it is?
Speaking of Larchmont, L-Town surprisingly got zero votes in our Best Commuter Town poll. Perhaps its train station’s useless lightboards outweighed Larchmont’s half-hour commute time, handsome Tudors, waterfront, and actual suburban nightlife.
So. Norwalk station has the same signs with (only) the same useless date on them.
