There will be limited bus and train service provided for the New Haven Line beginning with morning peak service on Thursday and will continue until further notice due to the loss of Con Edison feeders that supply power to the line's electric fleet.
Con Ed said in a statement late Wednesday afternoon that it is "working with Metro-North to try to establish alternative power sources to serve the New Haven line."
"Company crews are working around the clock to make repairs to a feeder cable that failed earlier today, but repairs of this nature typically take two to three weeks," said the statement. "Another feeder normally providing service to the New Haven line was out on scheduled repairs to accommodate Metro-North upgrades on their equipment."
The MTA service plan can accommodate approximately 33 percent of the regular ridership on the New Haven Line. Passengers with monthly tickets on the New Haven Line will have their tickets honored on the New Haven Line.
