New West of Hudson Schedules Effective May 11

New Port Jervis and Pascack Valley Line schedules go into effect on Sunday, May 11.

 

Because of schedule adjustments on NJ Transit’s Northeast Corridor Line to accommodate the installation of concrete ties, the connecting times at Secaucus for service to New York will change for Port Jervis and Pascack Valley Line trains. Be sure to see a new timetable for details.

 

Changes by line include:

 

● Port Jervis Line--A number of schedule changes will be made to the departure times of weekday (up to 7 minutes earlier or later) and weekend (up to 3 minutes earlier or later) trains.

 

Also, an extra getaway train will operate on the days before Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. See the timetable for details.

Platform Changes at Milford Station April 7-June 15

To accommodate concrete tie installation on the New Haven Line, the following service changes will occur at Milford Station:

 

  • From 8:30 AM until 3:30 PM all trains (to New York and to New Haven) will operate from the inbound (to NewYork) platform. (Before 8:30 AM all trains will operate from their normal platform.)

 

  • During the PM Peak (after 3:30 PM), customers will board their trains from the opposite platform. This means all inbound (to New York) trains will operate from the outbound (to New Haven) platform; all outbound (to New Haven) trains will operate from the inbound (to New York) platform.

Please listen for announcements in the event of last-minute platform changes.We appreciate your patience and understanding during this concrete tie installation.

Port Jervis Line Midday Schedule Change Through August

Through August, the 11:31 AM train from Port Jervis will arrive at Secaucus Junction at 1:58 PM (instead of 1:50 PM) and arrive at Penn Station NY at 2:19 PM (instead of 2:09 PM).

 

This schedule adjustment is to accommodate track work being conducted between Ridgewood and Paterson by NJ Transit

Hudson Line Platform Changes Through 2008

The next phase of the Hudson Line station rehabilitation project began in January 2008, and will last for approximately 18 months. During this phase, we will replace the inbound platforms at Philipse Manor, Scarborough, and Ossining stations.

 

This work will require that we continue to change the way in which we operate trains from Morris Heights to Ossining during the AM Peak. Therefore, customers will still board their morning trains from the opposite platform. (In other words, northbound trains will be arriving on southbound platforms, and southbound trains will be arriving on the northbound platforms.)

 

Additionally, weekday off-peak customers at Tarrytown, Philipse Manor, Scarborough, and Ossining stations will generally use the northbound platform for ALL trains (southbound and northbound) during this project phase.

 

Please look for signage with exact details at your station, and also listen for announcements in the event that operating conditions require a last-minute revision to track assignments.

 

We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Online Ticket Scams

Beware of online ticket scams! The only official way to purchase Metro-North Railroad tickets online is from WebTicket. Some customers have reported "bogus" websites offering nonexistent ticket discounts. 

Do not use these sites. If a railroad ticket offer seems too good to be true -- it probably is. You will never receive a ticket and you will have given someone access to your credit card information.

Again, only purchase tickets online from WebTicket. To avoid confusion, bookmark that page today.
