New Harlem Line Schedule Effective December 5

From the MNRR mailing list:

A new Harlem Line schedule will go into effect on December 5. Copies will be made available the week of November 29. Please be sure to pick one up and familiarize yourself with the changes.
This change is in response to your requests for a review of the previous schedule issued October 31. While we adjusted equipment assignments and train routing, and fixed cars that were damaged and out of service due to "slip slide" conditions, there continued to be issues of reliability (e.g. the timeliness with which trains pass through White Plains Station in the AM Peak). We determined that a new schedule should be issued to improve the reliability of your commute.
We remain committed to providing you with the best possible service, no matter what the circumstances. We regret the inconvenience you may have experienced.
The official site has an Adobe PDF of the Harlem weekday. Others are available too. I'm suprised to see that Harlem weekend is changing and so is New Haven, but I don't think alot.
Here is a summary of changes that affect me:
  • #622 now stops at MVW officially (they have been doing so for a while unofficially, simply because #624 wasn't getting in on time to catch #324 at 8:00). It's time at WP has also been adjusted slightly.
  • #512's departure time from NWP has shifted from 6:38 to 6:44
So not much of a big deal for me, but just having the two in firefox tabs side-by-side shows that there is alot of shifting around. From a tired glance, it seems that express trains are being moved either in front of or behind locals. Anyway, I just hope it works like it does on paper and doesn't make things worse. This is supposed to be effective until April.
