By coincidence, I came across a very old post of mine written on the increasingly crowded trains, which led me to a project that I conducted in 2007.

I am now attempting to replicate the study in 2012 to determine if trains are travelling slower now; and if so, by how much and where the major choke points potentially are along the NS line.
If you're interested in knowing the result, stay tuned over the next few days as the data comes in!
