Nicely done!
This is a great in depth video seriously you should make more of these about NYC Transit or the LIRR
Very informative video about Grand Central Madison. A lot of facts about the station I was not aware about, like the interactive train map showing all the active trains, the fact that the main concourse was the old lower level loop track. I too was on the very first revenue train into Grand Central last year.
Quality NYC transit content! Love it!
Just found you, a Very great piece of work. I have been following this project and still learned new things. You have a new follower.
I think I can hear Miles in that opening day shot!
A very good video but you didn't include any. passenger numbers! Normally 1 year is about enough time to allow people to transition to a new transit option so it would be interesting to see if numbers after 1 year are at or near expected usage. Also, has this new terminal increased usage of transit generally? Has Penn station seen a decrease in passengers?
Fun fact: British people don't say "temporary walls", they say "hoardings", so when Geoff Marshall visits you you'll know.
So failure?
