Airtrain information at New York Penn Station
You can get by rail from New York Penn Station to both JFK and Newark Liberty International Airport without too much trouble. But only if you know. Because provision of information about this within the station is very limited.
There are plans to expand passenger handling facilities at the station by building an extension - the Moynihan Building - in part of the former US Post Office (the Farley Building).
Last time the station received a major upgrade (1963), it handled 200,000 commuter trips a day: now it handles over 640,000: it is busier than JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports combined.
As well as the welcome and much overdue expansion of capacity, one element caught my eye. One element of the new building is an information centre for the Airtrain services.
Wow! Information! Great!
But don't hold your breath. That's phase 2: likely completion date is 2015.
