Maryland and West Virginia continue to negotiate with the outcome uncertain Maryland seeks long-term funding solution for service to West Virginia Until then, have a look at all potential connections, with MARC’s penn line weekday schedule, Cecil County Transit’s schedule for the #5 Bus, and SEPTA’s Newark/Wilmington line. Amtrak’s low bucket fare from Washington to Philadelphia is $39, twice the price, and last minute regional tickets can be more than $60, three times what this connection costs! It’s unlocked an interesting option for the region until we can really move into a modern age with a MARC extension to Delaware.
More importanly, these commuter trains are milk runs, and therefore cover a vast number of cities from Monday through Friday, the entire mid-Atlantic coast is now finally connected by public transit, at a price that won’t change. The trip is not a short one, however it runs at rush hour, when busses may not be able to do much better. Know also that in Philadelphia, transfers can be made further by SEPTA to New Jersey, and onwards to New York. MARC charges $13 from Washington to Perryville, and SEPTA’s fare from Newark all the way to Philadelphia is $6.75, bringing the total for a trip to $21.75. So we’ve spelled out an abridged schedule for connections that can be made from major stops-not all of which were outlined in the MARC timetable (especially of note is the potentially useful 6:10 departure from Washington)! However, be wary of connection times in Newark DE, which can range from 5 minutes to over an hour. Given the obscurity of the operator, and its unconventional timetable, we won’t be too surprised if many transit users aren’t aware of the option. The gap between Washington and Philadelphia is unlocked with a $2.00 Bus connection, from Perryville MD, MARC Commuter Rail’s northern terminus, to Newark, DE, SEPTA Regional Rail’s southern terminus. Cryptic as it may be, this transit hieroglyph carries with it great meaning:Ĭecil County Transit may not be on the average Washingtonian, Baltimorean, or Philadelphian’s radar, but they just did every passenger in the region a favor by closing one of two gaps of Amtrak’s North East Corridor not covered with vastly cheaper commuter rail service. At M&S, it often is.If you’ve seen the most recent weekday MARC Penn Line Schedule, you may have noticed some new language. Maybe it will, but when even the boss is talking about only a "step by step" improvement in clothing sales, caution is the best policy. But, at 15.5 times this years' expected earnings, the rating reflects an awful lot of hope the much-hyped autumn/winter collection marks a real turning-point. So, yes, if clothing can be cracked, M&S could start to look pretty again. M&S confirmed that capital expenditure will fall from £775m to £550m next year, giving credence to the boast that a "material" improvement in cash flow lies around the corner. Meanwhile, the capital spending extravaganza, designed to bring M&S's IT and distribution systems into the 21st century, runs to budget. The food side continues to buzz (like-for-likes sales up 3.2% in the second quarter). One answer is that Bolland's broad strategy seems to be correct and M&S' difficulties are at least confined to clothing. Why is everybody so cheerful in the face of a 9% fall in half-year profits to £262m? The share price rose 4% to regain 500p on Tuesday and, in the wings, new 3% shareholder Bill Adderley, respected founder of homeware chain Dunelm, is singing Bolland's praises. The surprise, though, is that investors do seem to be satisfied. For the time being, shareholders are asked to be satisfied that same-store general merchandise sales declined by 1.3% in the second quarter, not as weak as the 1.6% fall experienced in the first quarter. In other words, it's a journey without a timetable. So he is not about to be suckered into a game of predicting when M&S's general merchandise sales, down for nine quarters in a row on a like-for-like basis in the UK, will turn upwards.Įven so, the chief executive's latest plea for patience took vagueness to an extreme: "This is a journey on quality and style that will take a few collections to get a positive momentum behind it." Marc Bolland got burned when he set three-year sales targets for Marks & Spencer soon after arrival in 2010 - he had to reduce the goals after a single lap of the track.
