Metro-North Adding Extra Trains for Giants Parade

Going to the ticker-tape parade in Manhattan?

Metro-North Railroad is adding extra trains for commuters that want to go to New York City to attend the ticker-tape parade for the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants.

The parade is scheduled to take place in the "Canyon of the Heroes," a section of Broadway in southern Manhattan, at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7.

MTA spokesperson Marjorie Anders said off-peak prices will apply on the extra trains.

Customers should purchase round-trip tickets in advance at ticket vending machines or ticket offices and chose the single round trip MetroCard option for travel to Lower Manhattan by New York City Subway, according to a press release.

From Grand Central take the Lexington Avenue No. 4, 5 or 6 to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. (The Wall Street station will be closed during the parade.) 

Customers are asked to please refrain from bringing alcohol on trains.

There will be one extra train added to the New Haven line. The extra New Haven line train that departs from New York leaves at 3:23 p.m. For more information, visit MTA's website.

Are you going or do you know someone who is going to the parade on Tuesday?

Thanks Richard. Allison...I know that street is crazy!! I was just saying that the van makes theRead More stop sign so hard to see. I wish they would put a cop there too. Unfortunately, things don't get attention until something bad happens.

Please, a parked Van you are worrying about???? Every Morning in that same area of Chidsey,Read More Thompson, Prospect. etc, Cars, Trucks etc. Blast thru the Stop Signs and continue on their merry way. I'd worry about the kids walking to the bus stops and school being run down by these careless drivers... EVERY DAY I SEE IT !!!! I wish the Police Department would put an unmarked car in the area.. The Town of East Haven would be rich from ALL the Fines !!!!!

Anne, go to town clerks office and get a copy of Town Codes, Article ll, Section 12-16 and 12-17.Read More Section 12-17 defines an abandoned M/V as any M/V which is "inoperatable", or unregistered and is left in one location for a continuous period of more than 24 hours. Then call the Chiefs office and hit him with that. If nothing happens go to next Town Council meeting and during general public comments ask WHY nothing is done when complaint is made. Good luck.

"Nature will reclaim what we took from it in past years." I guess there is one thing weRead More agree on. And it started to sound good until the "government will make me whole, no matter what...." Political trip-wire. I have always felt no one should be allowed to claim or build on shoreline land within a mile of the water, with the exception of ports, on either coast. If it all were National Park lands... if only that decision was made way back when the land was pure and clean... the present and future wouldn't be as nightmarish as it inevitably will be. Only 50 years ago, when I was a very small child, I remember chasing all kinds of sea creatures (crabs, sea horses, star fish) around Silver Sands beach while my Dad caught a bushel of flounder. Where are they now? Yup, I'm a "Tree-Hugger" and, as outrageous as such a plan would be, I would throw all my energy behind a plan to de-populate the shoreline.

In the neigborhood of 135 words and you said what? Nature will reclaim what we took from it inRead More past years. Storms will happen, gee thats news, build a home on the shore line and it maybe lost due to a storm, power will be lost for awhile, OH my God. Far too much traffic, what are we to do? Update a plan for what purpose, the government will make me whole no matter what I do or what circumstance I put myself into. Give me a break! Like the old saying goes. **** happens, deal with it.
