I commute to Newark from Central Jersey or North Jersey 4 days a week since april 2021, and haven't had a delay in a very long time.

Except I don't use the tunnel at NY Penn.

The NJCL, RVL, and Morristown/Essex Lines have been great. NJCL in the summer, RVL and Morristown at least once each week for different office visits.

The last delay or cancelation I remember was the strike this summer, but I took the path to Newark and Ubered home, so not that big of deal. At most I've had a 5 minute delay or the app stopped working but the trains were still running.

The tunnel is where a lot of delays happen, which ripple throughout the NEC, and beyond. The infrastructure is over a century old and maintenance is always kicked down the road. Things are finally being funded but there is A LOT of backlog to catch up on.

That sounds interesting, do you have any sources to back that up so I can learn more?
