We could say we told you so…..”we told you so.”

    

One more item for today before we go into chicken fried steak and football mode for the rest of the day.

We refer you back to this recent post:

Même les Français ont des problèmes avec le MLF*

In it, we included these words; in particular, take note of the last paragraph…it begins with “Call us skeptical, but….”

We checked today, and found this update from a few days ago (Monday.)  Once again, attention to detail inspires confidence.

PRIORITY ALERT: Track work to cause Downeaster delays

Due to continuing track maintenance work, all Downeaster trains are experienceing (sic) delays of approximately 45-60 minutes.  Please check your particular train's status by using the button below or by calling 1-800-872-7245 and say "Train status".

PRIORITY ALERT: Track Maintenance extended to November 14th

Updated 11/3/14- Weekday trains 683 and 686 will be cancelled during this time frame. Trains 681 and  684 will run on a modified schedule and will not service all stations. All other trains will run according to the regular schedule. For details please got to www.AmtrakDowneaster.com/ConstructionAlert.

Call us skeptical, but we have a hunch another “PRIORITY ALERT” will be forthcoming somewhere around Friday, November 14.  Progressive disclosure is always appropriate in such circumstances. 

Wouldn’t you just know it?  Look what we just found on the NNEPRA web site:

You can trust them on that last assurance; this time will be different.  So book your travel for that week now.
