Danbury Branch Line Schedule Changes – Effective November 17

The CT Department of Transportation and Metro-North have announced changes to the Danbury Branch Line schedule which will take effect on Sunday, November 17, 2013.

Six new weekday trains have been added, providing a total of 28 weekday trains for Danbury Branch riders. The new schedule also adjusts the times for several trains, while increasing service during all off-peak time periods.

Service Details

In the AM Reverse Peak timeframe, a new northbound train will depart South Norwalk at 7:33 AM, stopping at employment centers at Merritt 7 and Wilton before 8 AM and arriving in Danbury at 8:37 AM.

New Off-Peak trains also depart South Norwalk at 10:08 AM and 10:40 PM. The 11:15 AM from South Norwalk will now depart 60 minutes later at 12:15 PM.

Southbound in the Off-Peak timeframe, new trains depart Danbury at 8:57 AM, 11:32 AM, and 7:25 PM.

The 12:40 PM from Danbury will depart 52 minutes later at 1:32 PM.

The last departure from Danbury will now depart 36 minutes later, at 11:10 PM.

The last train to Danbury will depart South Norwalk 50 minutes later at 12:29 AM, giving those traveling from New York City a post-11 PM departure on weekdays.

To accommodate these changes on the Danbury Branch, one AM Peak train and one PM Peak train are being adjusted as follows:

The 5:32 AM Peak train will now depart Danbury at 5:36 AM and will no longer operate as a “through” train, although travel time will be cut by four minutes. Customers will connect at South Norwalk with a train that starts at South Norwalk with the same arrival time, 7:38 AM, at Grand Central Terminal.
The 6:55 PM Peak train from Grand Central Terminal will operate 17 minutes later at 7:12 PM connecting to a train to Danbury at South Norwalk.
