Upon waiting on the track East bound to Port 1/18/20 3:22 in the snow with my friend. We were approached with a 7 minute late train. This was fine as it was announced, no surprise. The train stops up the track. It stops further up the platform then expected. We were waiting right on the platform near the waiting area building outside. The train stopped, we walked up to the it. This train was stopped no more then 60 seconds (if that). The doors opened and closed and the train left the station. We were left stranded on the platform. And were faced with waiting for another train 2 hours later or taking a cab to Port Jefferson . We opted for the cab. This after waiting for 20 minutes for this train to arrive! This conductor took zero time to look and I've never seen a train stop and go so quickly! I take the LIRR weekly and have for 30 years. We are out $37 and hours of time aside from freezing on the snowy platform. Wake up the conductors please!
