Arrive Early To Catch Bus Instead Of Train On Metro-North New Canaan Branch

NEW CANAAN, Conn. -- If you're planning to catch a train along Metro-North's New Canaan Branch, you may want to get to your station a bit early — and be prepared for a bus instead.

Metro-North Railroad will provide substitute bus services between the New Canaan and Stamford stations for select trains on Fridays, beginning July 31, and for all trains on Saturdays and Sundays through Aug. 23.

As work continues on a train grade crossing, Metro-North Railroad is providing bus service between the New Canaan and Stamford stations for select trains on Fridays and for all trains on Saturdays and Sundays through Aug. 23.

Metro-North is changing the service to accommodate grade crossing work as part of the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s reconstruction of the Merritt Parkway bridge.

Buses will operate 15 to 20 minutes earlier than scheduled trains. Metro-North asks passengers to listen for announcements and check local or express bus service to their destinations while boarding.

A complete schedule is available on the Metro-North website.
