New Jersey Transit's Waterfront Connection. - Trains Magazine

I have long maintained that not running a Newark - Herald Square service (except when WTC is closed, as after Sandy and after 11-Sept-01) is simply wrong .  NJT is over capacity on the route and should welcome the relief.   I've written PATH letters about this .  Using hostlers at Newark, it should be possible to run trains at least every three minutes and possible every two.    Then going from Hoboken to Newark would involve only one change, at Newport.

Of course on weekends they have round robin train that goes from Herald Square to Hoboken and then reverses and runs to Journal Square, substituting for both the Herald Square - JS and Herald Square 0 Hoboken services .  Then there is only one change, at JS.

Except during the rush hour period when service is most frequent, if I had to use PATH to go from Hoboken to Newark, I would use the WTC train to Grove Street, and cross to the other platform, making it only one change.
