Who is an LIRR commuter? What train?

Do you commute on the LIRR?

Thought maybe if any of us are on the same train we could try to meet once in a while for the ride home and trade war, I mean wedding stories.

I commute from East Williston (Oysterbay Line) I'm usually on 6:16 out of Penn.

I'm never in the mood to chat in the morning so I'm not even posting what train I take in.

I pick it up at Mineola.

So technically I am on many lines. Usually Huntington or Ronkonkoma lines.

In winter months when I’m afraid to let Jim drive up that steep hill to get to the train station I use the Hempstead line which is half a block from my house. Express four stops to Penn.



I take Mineola too! When I start work, I'll probably be on the 8:58 to Hunterspoint Ave so I can get the 7 to Grand Central. Good thing lawyers don't show up to work til 9:45-10:00. Of course, I have no idea what time I'll be coming home at night!

I'm on the Port Jeff branch ...take it in to Hunterspoint Ave. in Queens and then the 7 train to Grand Central.

We're like commuter twins--except your commute is probably twice as long from Port Jeff

Actually I'm on the Port Jeff line but I pick the train up at Northport. How about you?

I take it from Mineola, so I usually get to Grand Central in about 35 minutes. I just wish the Hunterspoint Ave train ran later than 6:44 to get back out here. I'm never going to be on that train!

Oh wow you come home late! I luck out, I bolt from my office by 5:30pm and make the 5:47pm train from HP. I'm in the Chrysler Bldg. so all I have to do is run underground and the 7 train is right there.

Right now I take the Huntington line to Cold Spring Harbor, but soon, (if we get this house we're buying) I will be taking it to StonyBrook, or the Ronkonkoma line. I usually leave the office at 7:00.



I used to take the same train/line, but recently I moved to Kings Park and left my city job.

What a great idea for you commuters to try to meet up though! Help make it go faster...

Ronkonkoma 5:53 out of Penn



That's my dad's train I used to take it with him when I lived home. I will be on it (in the first car) in 2 weeks, when I go to Bethpage for my fitting!

I usually meet him on the plstform, but I think he is on vacation that week

Oh, I'm in the Met Life building! I start work for the law firm I worked at last summer this September and I'm definitely worried about the hours. At the earliest, I'll be leaving at 7, but I think it's going to be more like 8/8:30. I may end up just taking the shuttle and then the 1/2 to Penn because I HATED standing in Woodside late at night.

Oh wow - thats why it takes you longer to get to HP. Yeah if your a 1st year I wouldnt plan on leaving work early - they wont like that too much! yeah I dont blame you, I would rather go through Penn than Woodside - even with the convention going on!

Maybe we should all try to meet in Trax or one of the Mustangs one night before we head home.
