Metro-North: Holiday Schedule

Metro-North offers up the 2015 Christmas/New Year’s Holiday timetable with all the service you’ll need for getting around Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day.

Here’s what’s going on east of the Hudson River, Metro-North officials say:

• Early Getaway Service on Christmas Eve (Thursday, December 24) Our regular weekday schedule will feature more cars on trains at key travel times and 18 additional early getaway trains (5 on the Hudson Line, 3 on the Harlem Line, and 10 the New Haven Line) departing Grand Central between 12 noon and 4:10 PM. See a regular timetable for details.

• Christmas Day (Friday, December 25) and New Year’s Day (Friday, January 1, 2016) Because most of you will be busy unwrapping gifts (or recovering from New Year’s Eve), we will be providing hourly service on all lines. See a Holiday timetable for details.

• Christmas-New Years Week (Monday, December 28 - Wednesday, December 30) If your plans include seeing the tree in Rockefeller Center, strolling by the holiday window displays adorning the store windows along Fifth Avenue, or just returning that sweater with the “Santa Yoda” your parents gave you, we will be able to get you there.
  
  During our heaviest travel times (10 AM - 2 PM), we will provide longer and extra trains on all lines. See a regular timetable for details.
  
  If you are traveling with family and friends, Metro-North suggests purchasing an off-peak ten-trip ticket. In addition to the discounted price, it is transferable, so everyone riding with you can use it.
