Buses To Replace Danbury Trains
The MTA Metro-North Railroad has just announced that buses will replace trains on the Danbury Branch this upcoming weekend. Here are the complete details via the press release I received:
MTA Metro-North Railroad is advising customers that substitute busing will be in effect on the Danbury Branch after 9 p.m. on Friday, March 31, through the last train of the night on Sunday, April 2. Southbound buses will operate approximately 15 minutes earlier than scheduled trains. Northbound buses are scheduled to meet arriving trains at the South Norwalk station.
This weekend’s service change will support the on-going safety and reliability of the Danbury Branch. Metro-North crew work that will be underway this weekend includes: making improvements to the Topstone Road railroad crossing (replacing the crossing surface, rails and ties), cutting brush and welding track.
Service details are below:
