Mass Transit—Peril!

Mar1308 , , ,

Let's talk about trains. Let's talk about my rudimentary motor and reasoning skills. Currently I'm on the LIRR from Penn Station heading to Brentwood. This is going well. This morning I needed to go from Penn Station to Secaucus on NJ Transit.

That did not go as well. After spending twenty minutes on the wrong platform and accidently boarding an Amtrack train I eventually figured out where I should be. Finally got on the train but and made it to my stop (which was only one stop away). Stood by the door.

Door didn't open.

Ended up in Newark, had to turn around and finally get off at Secaucus. Did my thing in town and got back to Penn, switched to the LIRR and here I am.

Update: Got to Brentwood without issue. Came back to Brentwood about 5:20 and missed the last inbound train for two and a half hours. Waited forever in the piss-dungeon of a train station for the next train.

Left hotel at 8:20am, didn't get back until 10:30pm.

Shit.
