Buses Will Substitute for Weekend Southbound Trains at Metro-North’s Melrose Station Sept. 10-11, 17-18 and 24-25Service Change Will Accommodate Bronx Track Improvements

To accommodate Bronx track work, buses will substitute for Harlem Line southbound trains at Metro-North Railroad’s Melrose station during the remaining Saturdays and Sundays this month, Sept. 10-11, 17-18, and 24-25. Northbound train service will not be affected.
Southbound customers looking to travel to Melrose should exit the train at Tremont to board a bus for continuing service to Melrose. The bus will be located at the top of the stairs leading from the southbound platform. Customers should allow for 15-20 minutes of additional travel time.
Customers seeking to catch a train at Melrose for southbound travel to Harlem-125th Street or Grand Central Terminal should instead catch a bus from the station. The bus will depart approximately 20 minutes earlier than normal train departure times, and will travel to Tremont, where customers will connect with regularly scheduled southbound Harlem Line trains. Bus and train timetables are available at this link:
This temporary service change will help ensure the ongoing reliability and safety of Harlem Line trains. Metro-North crews will be continuing their work installing new drainage pipe between the Tremont and Melrose station and building switches on the tracks that will allow trains to switch from one track to another.
