Metro-North Railroad will operate additional trains on the New Haven Line starting Wednesday, Oct. 2, due to an increase in power capacity to Con Edison’s temporary substations.

With this new schedule in place, Metro-North’s capacity on the line rises to 65 percent of regular train service. See our schedules page for train times and service details here.

The interim limited solution provided by the temporary substations installed by Con Edison still does not provide the full power capacity and as a result Metro-North still cannot operate full train service.

Note: After a Sept. 25 power failure along a section of track in New York, full service is expected to return Oct. 7 or Oct. 8, the Connecticut Post reported on Tuesday.
