Due to Amtrak track repair work over the course of the upcoming summer, the Morris & Essex Midtown Direct service schedules to and from New York Penn Station will be modified, effective July 10 through September 1. Morris & Essex customers will receive about a 50 percent discount off the Hoboken fare, and will be able to utilize cross-honoring alternatives in Hoboken. This discount will be based on the origin and the destination of the Morris & Essex customer’s travel.
Below is the overall rail service plan for customers who will be traveling into New York Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal this summer.
