NJ TRANSIT Schedule Changes Take Effect on June 8 2025

NJ TRANSIT schedule changes on June 8 2025 push many commuter trains earlier and reroute evening runs, so riders must refresh timetables now to keep weekday journeys on time. This is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

On the Northeast Corridor, five Jersey Avenue eastbound trips leave up to eleven minutes sooner, and Train 3124 skips Newark Airport entirely because planners prioritized a faster New Brunswick–New York dash.

Airport-bound customers still have options: Train 3818 departs New Brunswick at 6:40 a.m., while updated Train 3126 now adds Newark Airport without hurting advertised arrival times at Newark Penn, Secaucus, and Midtown.

Evening riders face equally big tweaks; NJ TRANSIT restores Train 3961 at 6:37 p.m., retires long-running 8875 and 3963, and launches Train 3877 to fill Rahway gaps and reach Trenton by 8:38 p.m.

Because Rahway loses stops on two late services, travelers should board new 3877 at 6:59 p.m. or Train 3281 at 7:24 p.m. to secure transfers at Metropark, Princeton Junction, and Hamilton.

A long-term speed cap near South Amboy triggers a domino effect along the North Jersey Coast Line. Weekday and weekend departures shift by as much as two minutes, and connecting shuttles from Bay Head or Long Branch mirror those moves.

Southbound evening returns adjust as well. Train 3251 now stops at Avenel, yet 3361 drops that call. Train 3267 leaves two minutes earlier, adds Secaucus, but skips Avenel, so riders must choose carefully.

NJ TRANSIT Schedule Changes Bring a Modern Lyndhurst

At dawn on Sunday, Kingsland and the original Lyndhurst close, and trains begin serving a glass-walled Lyndhurst platform just east of the old site. Main Line schedules slide only two minutes to fit the new spacing.

On the Morris & Essex, Gladstone, and Montclair-Boonton corridors, dispatchers insert fresh Secaucus stops on Dover and Summit runs, while Brick Church, Orange, and Millburn trade calls to smooth crowding without raising fares.

Late-night Trenton services also get new numbers: weekday 3897 becomes 3801, and weekend 7887 turns into 7801, yet both keep the 12:14 a.m. departure, so nightlife travelers see continuity. The later 12:43 a.m. pair converts to 3803 and 7803 with no timing shift.

Wintry storms weakened several Princeton Dinky tracks, so engineers trimmed shuttle meets by one minute to protect transfer reliability; early arrival ensures a warm seat under the canopy.

Fare structures remain unchanged, allowing commuters to keep monthly passes, FlexPass bundles, and off-peak discounts, and the mobile app now shows capacity icons that update in real time while you queue.

To stay informed, subscribe to My Transit Alerts, enable push notifications in the NJ TRANSIT Mobile App, and follow line-specific handles on X, because last-minute signal failures can still trigger track swaps at Penn Station.

Customer service agents stand by daily at (973) 275-5555 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with instant interpretation in multiple languages to speed assistance. Printable schedules remain at njtransit.com, and vending machines across major hubs dispense the fanfold copies first issued on May 28-29 for passengers who prefer paper when cellular signals fade underground.
