Posted by New Flyer #857 on Mon Aug 14 12:59:21 2017, in response to Re: MNRR/CDOT Revenue Enhancement, posted by jasonnyc on Mon Aug 14 11:18:22 2017. In January 2015 I rode Acela Express 2126, which now in the schedules has a "D" for the Newark Station (before it terminates at NY Penn). I'm not sure whether or not it had a "D" back in 2015 as well, but I can tell you that the train crew were at the doors of that train telling people on the crowded platform (I think a NJ Devils game had just let out) that "you don't want this train" and I overheard one C/R say "this train's 50 bucks (just to NY)" which made someone who was approaching it step back. If the D was around back then, I would be inclined to think that it was more just as a courtesy to let people know that it doesn't make sense for them to take that expensive train from Newark to NY when there are better options available. And the crew, especially the 1st class crew, probably did not want to be giving out menus this late in the run. |
