Sunday, October 11, 2026 – Saturday, November 14, 2026 · NJ Transit's page and timetables

What changes

From Sunday, Oct 11 to Saturday, Nov 14 only one track is in service between Newark and Secaucus while the last track is moved onto the new Portal North Bridge. Every line runs a temporary timetable with fewer trains.
Weekdays: Midtown Direct trains (Morristown Line, Gladstone Branch, Montclair-Boonton Line) run to and from Hoboken instead of New York Penn. On weekends they still run to New York.
PATH (Hoboken to 33rd Street), NY Waterway (Hoboken to West 39th Street) and NJ Transit bus 126 cross-honor rail tickets on weekdays.
Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line trains keep running to New York Penn, on a reduced timetable.
Regular timetables are due back on Sunday, Nov 15.

What counts

Every train is scored once, by how late it finished its run; on time means under 6 minutes late, NJ Transit's own definition. Cancelled means it never ran or never completed its run, and counts as not on time. Delay per train is the riders' time: a cancelled train counts what its riders lost reaching their destination on the next train that would take them there. Trains a day is the trains that ran. Holidays count as weekends.
