New Jersey Transit is restoring nearly 60 trains to meet the needs of anticipated increased ridership brought by the summer season, a return to offices and the continued economic reopening.
The changes include additional summer service on the North Jersey Coast Line Long Branch–Bay Head shuttle trains, as well as restoration of all weekend Gladstone Branch trains and the resumption of select weekday trains throughout the system, NJ Transit officials said in a news release.
The additional rail service between Long Branch and Bay Head expands upon the revitalization initiative started by the New Jersey Department of Transportation when it designated the area surrounding the Long Branch Station a Transit Village.
On weekend days, 12 North Jersey Coast Line trains will be added to provide shuttle service between Long Branch and Bay Head, operating on the weekends through September 11th. This service was temporarily suspended last year due to COVID-19.
Restoration of weekend service on the Gladstone Branch will include the addition of 39 trains between Gladstone and Summit, which has utilized substitute bus service since October 2018.
