For example, right now it sounds like there is some sort of delay at UW station. How quickly are they able to ramp up a substitute bus service? Are they able to run service on the rest of the line by short-turning at an earlier station? This is a key part of the network and they can't afford to have people wait while they troubleshoot problems.
I was stuck at Northfield headed to Conestoga. They kicked us all off of the train because the switches at Conestoga weren't working well and they couldn't turn the trains around. I think service was stopped for about 20 minutes. People mostly took it in stride except for the man who was yelling about his taxes and how useless the system is.
