Posted by Charles G on Wed May 7 12:48:01 2014, in response to Re: end of bar cars on new Haven, posted by Nilet on Mon May 5 23:00:25 2014. There are 4 bar cars left.There is a train with a bar car that leaves GCT at 12:08 and arrives New Haven at 2:04. There is another train with a bar car that leaves GCT at 1:08 and arrives New Haven at 3:03. There is a third train with a bar car that leaves GCT at 2:08 and arrives New Haven at 4:04. So at 2:05PM on a weekday, 3 of the four bar cars are either in New Haven or on their way to New Haven -- and they all need to be back at GCT at some point during the PM rush. The next scheduled bar cars out of GCT are at 5:26, 5:48 and 6:15. Since there are only 4 bar cars, two of those three trains must be the bar cars that were on the 12:08 and 1:08 out of GCT. The only departures out of New Haven after 2:04 that make it back to GCT before 6:15 are the 2:20, 2:46, 3:30 and 3:50 departures. So two of those 4 trains must have bar cars. It can't be the case that the two earlier trains have bar cars since the 1:08 departure from doesn't arrive in New Haven until 3:03. Therefore, either the 3:30 or the 3:50 out of New Haven must have a bar car. So my suggestion is to park yourself at New Haven at 3:25 and take whichever one is a bar car. The above presumes that there aren't any non-revenue runs from NH to GCT before the rush hour -- but quickly looking at the number of scheduled arrivals and departures in New Haven during the mid-day there appears to be at best a 1:1 correspondence and at worst more scheduled service going towards GCT. Good luck. |
