However, on MORE than one occasion, me and another person are COMFORTABLY sitting in this arrangement, and some idiots will squeeze in to make it a 4 x 4 with everyones legs touching. It is impossible for any normal size man/woman to sit directly accross from each other and not have their legs in each others laps.
Which ones are you talking about , the ones where you face each other or the ones on the DD's?

There is no Express service for the Diesel section of the North Jersey Coast line. If you can get a ride over to Princeton JCT then there express's on the NEC , which also faster by 40-50mins then NJCL. Otherwise the Train form SL to NYP takes 111 to 120 mins but 30 mins of that is due to a Transfer train. Unless you want to go to Hoboken.

My wife sometimes takes the train down on Friday nights and it takes her 2 hours, she hates the commute.
