The disaster at the train station part 6

   June 28 If the F.U.B.A.R.’s doing the construction, or lack of, on the parking lot, at the train station, has caused enough of a problem, M.T.A. stepped up and moved the ticket machines that were next to the coffee shop up on to the platform.
The move actually makes sense, since the majority of the stations on the westbound side (New York bound) have the ticket machines on the platform.The M.T.A. train dispatchers always dispatch to the westbound trains (New York bound) or eastbound (New Haven bound) along with the M.T.A. Police dispatchers.
Then we have Stratford’s dispatchers who dispatch calls for both the Toma’s de Torquemada (STFDPD) and the Carrus Mortibus (STFDEMS) to the north bound and southbound side of the tracks.

  1. An M.T.A. train dispatcher and an M.T.A. police dispatcher asked me what the town’s problem was.
    My answer: E-mail the mayor, but do not hold your breath.
    Problem: M.T.A. to date has not posted where the machines have been moved to.
    Monday should be a true joy, the F.U.B.A.R.’s will be back and there will probably be a major traffic/pedestrian jam as the commuters search for the ticket machines.
    I may be incorrect, but this Monday is usually the day the commuters buy their monthly tickets.
    Only in Stratford kiddies only in Stratford.
    Semper Fi!
