Hamptons weekenders are being told to leave their baggage at home.
Passengers on the Long Island Railroad's “Cannonball” train, which runs express from Penn Station to the Hamptons and Montauk on Friday nights, were asked to “leave oversized luggage at home” in order to “ensure a safe and comfortable ride.”
“If our customers leave oversized items at home, more of them will be able to enjoy a ride to the Hamptons in under two hours. We need everyone’s cooperation to make this work,” LIRR President Patrick A. Nowakowski said in message issued Thursday.
Hamptons-bound travelers lugging large pieces of luggage onto the trains have long been reviled by their fellow travelers. Even worse is when they give their luggage a ride equally as comfortable as their own, instead of leaving seats free for other travelers.
And if your luggage cannot be managed - get a cab. My train will not wait because of your vacation. #NYC #LIRR #TheStruggle

— Susan Bitch Anthony (@theonlyJTT) July 19, 2014The sense of entitlement that some ppl have on the Montauk train is deplorable. No, bitch, you can't put your luggage on my seat. #LIRR
