No Service On Gladstone Branch Rail Thursday, Morning Commute Impacted

SUMMIT, NJ — NJ Transit's regular Gladstone Branch rail service along the Morris & Essex Lines continues to remain suspended on Thursday for the morning commute due to emergency repair work.

The suspension began around 5 p.m. on Wednesday night, impacting the evening commute.

Rail tickets and passes are being cross-honored on Lakeland buses to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, however, there will be limited seats available on the buses.

NJ Transit is directing commuters to drive to Summit or Denville where they can board Morris & Essex Lines trains; drive to Bridgewater or Somerville to board Raritan Valley Line trains; or drive to Newark Penn Station to board trains to Penn Station New York. However, Summit announced that Summit parking is filled to capacity. Commuters should look for an alternative to driving to Summit such as buses or ridesharing (Uber or Lyft).

Gladstone passes and tickets will be cross honored on all NJ Transit Rail Lines and Bus Lines.
