Getaway trains for riders heading back to Fairfield County will begin departing Grand Central Terminal at 1 p.m. Wednesday. Due to reduced ridership, some evening trains may be canceled or combined.

A special holiday schedule will be in effect featuring hourly service on Christmas Day. 

On the day after Christmas, Metro-North will run on a Saturday schedule, with additional morning and evening trains for shoppers. 

On the week leading in to the New Year, trains will run on a regular weekday service with slightly reduced early morning service. 

Metro-North will run on a weekday schedule on New Year's Eve with the following changes:

  • Reduced a.m. peak and p.m. peak service, to match service and train crew resources with the reduced passenger demand;
  • Additional inbound trains in the afternoon and early evening; 
  • Hourly service outbound after 8 p.m.; and
  • Post-midnight outbound service between midnight and 5 a.m.

Train riders are reminded that alcohol is banned on all trains between noon on New Year's Eve and noon on New Year's Day.
