Posted by Easy on Wed Feb 11 22:14:40 2009, in response to LACMTA news and LA area events, posted by Easy on Sun Apr 27 14:21:47 2008. From Metrolink's website.ANTELOPE VALLEY LINE DELAYS On the evening of February 10, 2009, Antelope Valley Line train 215 (the 5:00 pm departure from Los Angeles) was disabled by a mechanical issue between Sylmar/San Fernando and Newhall stations. Train 217, the 5:40 pm departure from Los Angeles was coupled to train 215 and pushed it to Newhall station. Train 215 was terminated at Newhall station and its passengers were transferred to train 217. Trains 217 and 220 were both delayed 90 minutes by the mechanical breakdown due to train 215 becoming disabled on a single track section of the line. Passengers on trains 215, 217 and 220 on this evening qualify for compensation under Metrolink's Quality Service Pledge. Click on "Quality Pledge" on the right side of this page for more information. 8:00 AM This morning (February 11), Antelope Valley Line train 202 (the 5:10 am departure from Lancaster) encountered mechanical difficulties and was unable to depart Lancaster on time and then became disabled between the Vincent Grade/Acton and Via Princessa stations. Train 204 was coupled to train 202 at that location and is currently towing the train and its passengers to all stops. The trains are now 1 hour and 50 behind schedule into the Via Princessa station. Trains 206 and 208 are also delayed following behind the two coupled trains. Passengers on trains 202 and 204 this morning qualify for compensation under Metrolink's Quality Service Pledge. Click on "Quality Pledge" on the right side of this page for information. Train delay summary for yesterday: #215 - 97 min delay #217 - 82 min delay #219 - 45 min delay #220 - 125 min delay #221 - 52 min delay #222 - 27 min delay Now those same people trying to get to work this morning were all delayed about 2 hours more or less. Between this type of service, all of the accidents, and LIRR-like ticket prices, it's a wonder that anyone rides Metrolink. :( |
