By the time this revisied plan moves forth, Christopher Christie figures his residence will no longer be a White house named Drumthwacket but rather The White House @ 1600.
But what is interesting is that all the underground obstructions such as existing Subways, water mains, telecommunication facilities, that were set forth as flaws with the Macy's station plan, have now suddenly become no longer such.

I thought the comments were more interesting. Lot of ignorance out there.

While the Obama administration wants to buy Joe “Casey Jones” Biden a new train set for Christmas here is the state of the Tri-state area’s trains. Due to cold weather the trains have been put on a modified schedule and Buses have replaced many of trains on some branches. The state of passenger rail service is mirroring the Penn Central era, people don’t trust the trains it’s too expensive to take a family trip and even people are old enough to have ridden long distance trains on a regular basis would rather fly, drive or have permanently moved to warmer climates.

The man who built and named a train station not much smaller than Grand Central announced plans for another tunnel at close to double the cost.
This is the state of commuter rail service in the United States if people are fed up with a train trip from Westport Ct to NYC then traveling from Westport to Washington much less Florida via a train.

Great News Mr. Norman, just a little concerned about the "technical difficulties" that caused the 2 year delay I do hope they are weather tough for next years winter and I do hope the cars will be running north of Stanford soon

Depending on the competency of the supplier, all could be good within a reasonable timeframe. I know of a supplier that made trains fit to fail within 5000 miles of service (regarded as extremely dismal) which they got up to 25,000 miles per casualty (regarded as exceptionally good) within a couple of years.
