The ordeal began last Wednesday when an electrical outage upended regular service on the Metro-North's New Haven Line.īy Thursday, service accommodated just 33% of regular ridership on the New Haven Line, sending commuters scrambling alternatives, and the MTA suggesting customers stay at home. Malloy and other officials called on MTA to issue ticket refunds. On Monday the capacity was 50% of regular service. Also on Monday, Gov. The new special schedule in effect from Wednesday, October 2, through Friday, October 4, is available on the MTA schedules page. However, with this new schedule in place, Metro-North says their capacity on the line rises to 65% of regular train service.

Metro-North will operate additional trains on the New Haven Line starting Wednesday, October 2, due to an increase in power capacity to Con Edison's temporary substations.Īccording to the MTA, temporary substations installed by Con Edison do not provide the full power capacity of the Mount Vernon substation, and as a result, Metro-North cannot yet operate full train service.
