Metro North New Year’s 2015 Service Plan

Here is the New Year’s Eve & Day service plan information for Metro-North:

MTA Metro‐North Railroad wants to help you celebrate the most wonderful time of the year by providing all the service you’ll need for the upcoming holidays. Please remember that drinking alcohol on Metro‐North trains and at our stations is banned from noon New Year’s Eve until noon New Year’s Day. And don’t forget to buy your tickets in advance if you are traveling “early morning” (after midnight) on New Year’s Eve. Tickets will be
collected prior to boarding trains at Grand Central Terminal.

New Year’s Eve: Thursday, December 31:

A modified weekday schedule will be in effect with extra getaway trains between noon and 4 p.m., and reduced service at other times. And for those planning to party in Manhattan, there will be extra New York City‐bound trains for the late afternoon and evening.

New Year’s Day: Friday, January 1, 2016:

Metro‐North will operate plenty of extra outbound service from Grand Central after midnight to provide a safe ride home for everyone who has been busy ringing in the new year.

West of Hudson, the following trains will operate overnight into Friday morning.

A 1:27 a.m. train will leave Hoboken (the connection from Penn Station‐NY will depart at 1:22 a.m.), operate express to Suffern, and make all stops to Port Jervis, arriving at 3:40 a.m.

A 3:00 a.m. train will leave Hoboken (the connection from Penn Station‐NY will depart at 2:50 a.m.), and make all stops from Kingsland to Port Jervis, arriving at 5:37 a.m.

Please note: The 12:40 a.m. train from Hoboken to Port Jervis will not operate on New Year’s morning.

A 1:24 a.m. train will depart Hoboken (the connection from Penn Station‐NY will depart at 1:18 a.m.), and make all local stops to Spring Valley, arriving at 2:40 a.m.

A 3:45 a.m. train will depart Hoboken (the connection from Penn Station‐NY will depart at 3:39 a.m.), and make all local stops to Spring Valley, arriving at 4:56 a.m.

Please note: the 12:45 a.m. departure from Hoboken will not operate on New Year’s morning.

Due to lighter ridership on the rest of New Year’s Day, Metro‐North will provide hourly service on all East of Hudson lines. A weekend schedule will be in effect for West of Hudson service.
