The changes are really minor. What people really want on the web site is:
1. current information about train delays and cancellations
2. current information about full trains and "bumping"

I agree with "very minor" that speedy delay and cancellation info is very important.

Does anyone reading these Almanac comments follow Caltrain on twitter and find it useful? I heard about it but haven't tried it.

The Twitter bio says: "Caltrain service delays provided by riders. This account is not operated by Caltrain."

If Caltrain can't or won't provide the info, the riders will just have to do it themselves I guess.

I've been following @caltrain and @bikecar on twitter for a long time and contributing with delay reporting as I encounter it. But the service is only as good as the people who submit their observations. On crowded trains, you can usually count on frequent, accurate updates. But if a delay happens on a train without a contributor, the best one can hope for is someone reporting what they see on the overhead signs at the station.
