New Ticket Machine Center Opens in Grand Central The new center houses 10 machines (one for Metrocards only), and is well-lit, climate-controlled, and monitored by security cameras. It looks good, too, featuring a “Montauk” black floor, and the original façade’s large rectangular windows and bronze transom (the half moon grating above the windows). We think it fits nicely with our other “ticket” center, situated across from Track 34. (About 60% of our tickets are purchased via ticket machines. So this is truly a case of giving the people more of what they want…)
Tarrytown Station Construction In support of improvements to the Tarrytown Station building, platforms, and overpasses, the following changes have been implemented: We thank you for your patience during this work to improve your station.
New Bike Policy The new policy now allows bicycles: On most trains scheduled to depart from Grand Central Terminal between 5:30 AM and 9 AM, 3:01 PM and 3:59 PM, 8:01 and 8:15 PM, and on connecting trains. On most trains arriving in Grand Central GCT between 4 PM - 8 PM, and on connecting trains. Please remember: bicycles are still not permitted on inbound AM Peak and outbound PM Peak trains as well as during the holiday periods from which they are currently prohibited. (Exceptions to this policy are identified in your timetable.) In addition, allowing bicycles on our trains will be at the discretion of our conductors, should conditions on a particular train warrant their being prohibited. (Folding bikes, however, are allowed on board all Metro-North trains. Please fold your bike before boarding and don't block the aisle or doors. ) View a bike permit application for full details.
Grand Central North Closed Weekends Because of low usage and to save costs, Grand Central North is closed on weekends. Weekday Hours remain the same.
Online Ticket Scams Beware of online ticket scams! The only official way to purchase Metro-North Railroad tickets online is from WebTicket Do not use these sites. If a railroad ticket offer seems too good to be true -- it probably is. You will never receive a ticket and you will have given someone access to your credit card information. Again, only purchase tickets online from WebTicket |
