UPDATE: DepartureVision is actually online and working for possibly all stations in the system. In case the MTA goes and corrects the press release, below is a screen shot with the offending material highlighted. The correct start date of direct New Haven line service is Sunday, September 20, 2009, when the New York Jets host the New England Patriots with a 1:00 PM kickoff. You see, the game actually starts at 4:15 PM, thus making it ineligible for direct New Haven line service. Metro-North New Haven line direct service begins as the regular season kicks off on Sunday, September 13 with the NY Giants/Washington Redskins game that starts at 1 p.m. From there, shuttle trains will bring fans directly to the new Meadowlands Station and the game. In addition, Metro-North will be introducing a new direct service from major New Haven Line stations to the Meadowlands (via Secaucus Junction) for football games starting at 1 p.m. That’s because the press release GOT THE DATE WRONG of the first direct New Haven line train!!!! The press release, meant to announce the beginning of both LIRR/MNCR+NJT joint-ticketing to the Meadowlands and direct Metro-North New Haven line service to Secaucus, is only successful with the former. MTA officials were too busy tailgating with NJ Transit officials at Penn Station New York today to notice the significant and glaring error in their all important press release.
