Track improvements will be made between Melrose and Woodlawn stations, including drainage improvements, tie replacement, fencing repairs and general clean-up. To accommodate the work, one of the four tracks in this area will be out of service at all times.
Metro-North will cancel three local morning peak trains, two on the New Haven Line and one on the Harlem Line, for nine weeks beginning Monday. Other schedule adjustments will be made, too.
On the New Haven Line:
- The 7:35 a.m. train from Port Chester, due at Grand Central Terminal at 8:18 a.m., will be combined with the 7:09 a.m. from New Canaan, resulting in a two-minute longer ride for the New Canaan train’s passengers.
- The 8:30 a.m. train from New Rochelle, due at Grand Central Terminal at 9:05 a.m., will not operate. Passengers who ride this train may take the 8:15 a.m. from New Rochelle or the 8:08 a.m. train from Stamford instead.
- One a.m. peak train will operate three minutes earlier and one minute slower.
- Seven p.m. peak trains will be adjusted by one or two minutes, and one additional p.m. peak train will operate six minutes later but four minutes faster.
- One inbound off-peak train will operate two minutes later, and travel time will be one minute slower for two other inbound off-peak trains.
Also, several evening and late-night trains on the New Haven Line will see their schedules adjusted up to 22 minutes earlier or later, seven days per week, to accommodate the next phase of the New York State stations rehabilitation project from Larchmont through Harrison.
To mitigate the weekday impact of this adjustment, a new local train will depart Stamford at 10:05 p.m. on weekdays for the duration of this project. When the project is complete, Metro-North will revert to the current schedule and this additional train will no longer operate.
Temporary schedules for July 1 to Sept. 2 are available in a pdf format here.
