One of Philly’s finest stations, and yes this is on the Northeast Corridor.

The dual aisle also just helps speed along boarding/deplaning as well. Hopefully we get a domestic 787 for some of the high density/limited slot routes.

Highway access + plenty of larger NJ companies (especially pharma) located in the ‘burbs.

A week after opponents pitched their one bridge option, Gov. Sherrill downsized the controversial NJ Turnpike twin bridge project over Newark Bay www.nj.com/news/2026/03...

But I just called the hotline again, and it STILL begins with: “Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation.”

I am once again asking the Port Authority to acknowledge that people going to and from airports are also carrying a lot of big and bulky luggage. Much like the old EWR AirTrain, these cute vans can fit 2-3 people with luggage.
