We have had issues with the Danbury Branch, several times they have shut down out trains (original excuse because of weather related issues). In reality, it seems they shut down the Danbury and Waterbury branches to use our diesel engines on the main NH line. I wouldn&#039;t mind so much if they had provided bus service in place. The two times I have been affected I had to miss work once and stay in Stamford the night before in anticipation of the shutdown. I understand they have more passengers on the main line, but it is not too much to ask to keep one train running or provide buses DURING the storm rather than giving us no options at all except driving. I thought the purpose of mass transportation was an alternative to driving!
