"Delivering better, faster Metro-North service to Hudson Valley commuters will propel economic growth across our state and improve quality of life, Hochul said. These new super-express trains will save commuters nearly 15 minutes of travel time every day, giving riders back over an hour a week of their precious time. This is just the start. Work remains underway to deliver even more service improvements along the line, improving reliability and making trips up and down the Hudson Valley even faster."
"Faster train service will launch on Metro-North Railroad next month, cutting a significant amount of time from passenger commutes, Gov. Kathy Hochul and MTA officials announced on Tuesday. The governor said during a Sept. 23 press conference at Grand Central Terminal that new, faster super-express trips on the railway's Hudson Line between Poughkeepsie and NYC will go into effect on Oct. 6. Some trips will run as fast as under 90 minutes, down from non-express routes that can take as long as 115 minutes."
The Metro-North Railroad will introduce faster super-express service on the Hudson Line beginning Oct. 6, reducing some Poughkeepsie–Grand Central trips to under 90 minutes. Five trips will be shortened to less than 90 minutes and one to 95 minutes, cutting up to seven minutes versus current super-express schedules and up to 20 minutes versus non-express trains. The changes save commuters nearly 15 minutes daily, more than an hour weekly, and aim to spur economic growth and improve quality of life. MTA staff used train-simulation software and analyzed GPS and signal data to revise dozens of schedules, while signaling infrastructure upgrades increased speeds and reduced speed restriction impacts.
