Buses Will Substitute for Weekend Metro-North Trains on Danbury Branch May 12-14 and May 19-21

Service Change Will Accommodate Danbury Branch Track Improvements

 
MTA Metro-North Railroad crews will be working on the Danbury Branch this weekend and the next to make needed upgrades and repairs to tracks and infrastructure. As a result, buses will substitute for Danbury Branch trains on the next two weekends, May 12-14 and May 19-21.

Metro-North workers will be making improvements to the Catherine Street railroad crossing in Norwalk, which involves replacing the crossing surface, rails and ties. They will complete the replacement of the track through the Wall Street tunnel between the Commerce Street and Cross Street grade crossings in Norwalk, cut brush along the branch and weld track.

Substitute bus service on both weekends will begin after 9 p.m. on Friday and continue through the last train of the night on Sunday. Northbound buses are scheduled to meet arriving trains at the South Norwalk station. Southbound buses will operate approximately 15 minutes earlier than scheduled trains.
