here we go again what started out as a early commute home wound up with a standing room only train stopped at wyandanch,doors closed for just over 45 minutes with the insane repeated reason muttered over the train PA every 2 minutes- "we are being held here due to signal trouble" somebody heard we may have hit someone so that rumor made the gossip lively,traincrew ran around the outside and the only reason the doors were shut was probably because the train crew did not want to give information or were scared that they had driven us insane with the repeated announcement-45+ minutes passed and we were again under way at a crawl,people had to stand since penn. and our train crew made sure they got a fare from all those without seats and kudos to those who refused to pay since they were standing! we get to central islip and are told that service is suspended between C.I, and ronkonkoma and it was due now to police investigation! we sat for 15 minutes when we were told to get off the train and wait on the south side for a eastbound train people herded to the only pedestrian bridge and crossed in mass to the other side people fell luggage careened down stairs and the south platform became very unsafe as more and more people made the trek over the bridge, the danger was great as people tried to move along the platform causing some to get close to the edge and as the train pulled in the overcrowded platform became dangerous,was the lirr railroad on scene to help transition the move and give information? NO! to make the platform safe? NO! what about having buses meet the train at CI and get the passengers to Ronkonkoma? NO! they had plenty of time and with such a high fare rate LIRR customer information liasons should have been on scene with buses to get us home after delaying us over an hour ! and the reason why we were delayed didnt wash with with the LIRR leery commuter since nobody saw police between stations or the tell tale signs of such activity! once again sticking it to joe commuter! ya know we are not rich and our time is precious since we spend our days working in nyc and commuting, THE LIRR ALWAYS STICKS IT TO THE WORKING CLASS AND MAYBE THEY SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT LETTING SOMEONE ELSE RUN THE LIRR!
