They finally fixed the gap

 

After 10 years of suffering

 

They finally fixed it

The real gaps which need to be fixed (all RE: weekday schedules):

1. No Hoboken bound Pascack Valley Line trains between 4pm and 9pm.

To this end, the Oradell siding issue (or lack thereof) should be revisited as initially it gave a false sense that more freight trains would run through which was clearly not the case and the proposed siding runs next to a golf course away from residential area so it's not a NIMBY issue, and new administration.

2. Need better scheduling of Hoboken bound trains on Bergen County Line, (5:54 and 7:06pm from Plauderville are odd departure times and do not work well with Secaucus connections, and need minimum hourly service). 

3. The last direct train to NY on Raritan Valley Line at 10pm should be restored. All other direct NY trains operate today prior to the temporary cuts.
