The train service between Stamford and GCT has become a bit more reliable in the past few days.  I do beleive that when you buy a ticket you should be gyaranteed a seat.  The rush hour evening trains that express to stamford with this new reduced winter schedule are standing room only.  What i find hard to believe is that we were able to purchase used cars from Virgina a few years back(they are being used on shore line east) i repeat used cars from a rail road that was upgrading to be used by one of the largest commuter rails in the country.  How can that be? Those used cars were in better shape than most of our fleet.  Why has it taken so long for Metro North to upgrade the New Haven Line. They collect an enormaous amount of money from the riders.  Watch our fares increase exponentially as our new governor taxes Ct to death. Time to move.
