Commuter trains serving the Princeton area have resumed near-normal service, just in time for students relying on New Jersey Transit, SEPTA and Metro North for their returns to campus from fall break. The Dinky is still out of operation, but the University will run shuttle buses in lieu of the short train ride.
Beginning Friday, NJ Transit resumed limited service of the Northeast Corridor line, which runs between New York Penn Station and Trenton Transit Center and stops at Princeton Junction. Two trains will leave Penn Station every hour in the morning, with service expanding in the afternoon. However, some of these trains will not stop at Princeton Junction.
Two or three trains will be leaving from Trenton each hour, and all of these will stop at Princeton Junction.
The Dinky has not yet resumed service, and on Friday the University announced that TigerTransit buses would serve as a shuttle service between Princeton Junction and Princeton Station. University Spokesperson Martin Mbugua confirmed the shuttle service will be available Saturday and Sunday as well.
SEPTA service between Philadelphia — including Philadelphia International Airport — and Trenton is running. Newark, John F. Kennedy and La Guardia airports are all open, though airline carriers are providing limited service.
Metro North has restored service to its Hudson, New Haven and Harlem lines to Grand Central Terminal. The New York City subway system has resumed service in that area for students needing to connect from Grand Central to Penn Station.
Long Island Rail Road is running normal weekend service on its Port Washington, Ronkonkoma, Babylon and Huntington branches.
Amtrak has restored its normal Northeast Corridor service between Washington, D.C., and Boston.
