Metro-North Special Weekend Schedule & Alcohol Ban

Metro-North will operate on a special schedule to accommodate travelers headed to NYC to ring in the new year. In addition, they have imposed an alcohol ban on all trains from noon New Year's Eve until noon New Year's Day. 


 

New Year's Eve (Saturday, December 31) Special Schedule

 For those of you planning to party in Times Square (or anywhere else), our New Year's Eve schedule will include extra inbound late afternoon and early evening service. And when the party truly is finally over, our "overnight" New Year's morning service will get you home from your celebrations.

Please remember that drinking alcohol on Metro-North trains and at our stations is banned from noon New Year's Eve until noon New Year's Day. (Because there comes a time when the party really is over.)

Your first resolution for the New Year should be to buy your tickets in advance: Those of you taking our early morning New Year service will have your tickets collected prior to boarding trains at Grand Central. Again, start the New Year off right and resolve to use MTA eTix®.

On New Year's Day, Sunday, January 1, 2017, Metro-North will operate a Sunday schedule.

And as an added bonus, this year New Year's Day is observed on Monday, January 2. Since businesses and government offices are closed we will operate a Saturday schedule without the Shoppers Specials.

Be sure to look for Metro-North special Christmas/New Year's Timetable on our schedules page, in Grand Central, and at outlying ticket offices. Or download our free Train Time App on your iPhone or Android.
