Northeast Corridor (NEC) and North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) schedules will return to full regular weekday service.  MidTown Direct trains will resume service to and from PSNY. Raritan Valley Line (RVL) mid-day trains will resume direct service to and from PSNY.

“We now know that deficiencies in Amtrak’s infrastructure at Penn Station New York caused an extremely difficult and challenging week for our customers,” said Executive Director Steven H. Santoro. “We appreciate and value all of our customers and thank them for their patience. I want to assure our riders that NJ Transit is doing everything possible to ensure Amtrak sets the bar higher on maintaining their infrastructure to prevent these types of incidents.”

As customers return to regular weekday schedules, cross honoring will remain in effect with NJ Transit bus, light rail, private carrier bus, NY Waterway ferry, and PATH at Newark, Hoboken and 33rd Street.
