Metro-North Tweaks Schedule For New Canaan Branch

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- New timetables are coming to Metro-North's New Haven Line on Sunday, Oct. 4, to create a better morning rush-hour connection to Greenwich for Shore Line East customers.

Customers should also look for minor scheduling changes across the entire New Haven Line. 

Commuters who ride Shore Line East's 5:50 a.m. departure from New London — making all stops to West Haven, then Bridgeport, then arriving in Stamford at 8:03 a.m. — will now be able to change at Stamford for an 8:14 a.m. train to Greenwich.

The connecting train previously originated in New Canaan at 7:58 a.m. and ran express after Stamford. To allow for the added stop at Greenwich, the train will depart from Stamford and all New Canaan Branch stations two minutes earlier. It will now originate at New Canaan at 7:56 a.m.

Also, for the Waterbury Branch, Metro-North will issue updated timetables effective Nov. 16. The schedule change will reflect the decommissioning of the temporary transfer station for Waterbury Branch customers at Devon and the conclusion of work on the Devon Movable Bridge. 

At that time, normal Waterbury Branch service to Bridgeport will resume.
