Early Bird Catches the Train

Back when I first started taking this line (from Watchung Ave.) there was a 7:14am train that was supposed to get you into New York around 8am. Schedule changes have since moved this train earlier and earlier to the point that it now arrives at Watchung Ave. 6:54am. The next train into New York does not arrive until 7:35am. There is a forty minute gap where there is no train into New York. The 6:54am train is too early and the forty minute gap is too large of a span to not have another train directly into New York.

I wouldn't mind hoping a Hoboken train if I didn't have to pay an aidditional fee to then ride the PATH into New York. Like an agreement between NJT and Port Authority for the PATH would ever happen. That would just make too much sense.
