As you may know, I record the announcements for the AirTrain at Newark Liberty International Airport. This isn't public yet, but I want to let you know about some upcoming changes.
They are renaming the terminals and some of the infrastructure. Terminal C will be Here, Terminal B is Everywhere and Terminal A is There. Connecting the terminals will be the new monorail, In Between. If you are arriving on a United international flight and then taking a domestic flight, you need to go In Between Here and There. It won't happen often but sometimes you'll need to go In Between Here, There and Everywhere if flights get canceled or moved. Fortunately, United's new lounge, Where, will be a nice place to relax while you await your flight. You won't find Where in There, it will only be in Here. The Rail Link station will be called Nowhere. Long term parking is now Anywhere.
The new announcement will sound like this, "The train from Nowhere is now arriving. It will make stops at Here, There and Everywhere. For long-term parking, please go to Anywhere. For hotel shuttles go to Somewhere"
*apologies to New Jersey natives Bud Abbott and Lou Costello
