Dorsey clock still off the MARC
It's disconcerting to arrive at a MARC station and to have the clock on the station tell you that you've missed your train.
That was my experience when I used the MARC station at Dorsey about six months ago, and Thursday was a repeat. On both occasions, the big clock on the Camden Line station was running about 15 minutes fast.
I know the tansportation budget is tight, but couldn't the Maryland Transit Administration scrape up a few bucks to get its timepiece fixed? Railroads, after all, were the inspiration for accurate and standardized timekeeping.

The clock at Penn Station (Baltimore) suddenly became a minute fast a few weeks ago. And now the trains are leaving a minute early. I know that's not as bad as 15 minutes, but I've almost missed the train a few times because of this. And yes, I've checked my watch with the atomic clock. The clock in the station is incorrect.

Dorsey Station is one of the more attractive MARC stations, but does need a bit of refurbishing.
I'm wondering if you Dorsey riders would like a coffee shop in the station, where the empty ticket window is now?
