The 7:28 a.m. from Harrison will operate three minutes later.The 7:29 a.m. from New Rochelle will operate seven minutes earlier.The 6:55 a.m. semi-express from Stamford will operate five minutes earlier.The 6:50 a.m. all-stops local from Stamford to Grand Central will depart six minutes later to restore a connection with a train arriving from New Haven at 6:52 a.m. To accommodate this change and ensure that trains mesh appropriately at Woodlawn, three additional adjustments are required:.The 7:33 a.m. to Danbury will depart South Norwalk 10 minutes later but the arrival time at Danbury will not change.To accomplish this change, the first northbound train on the Danbury will be adjusted. The 5:28 a.m. from Waterbury will be extended on Monday June 9 from Bridgeport and terminate at Stamford restoring a one-seat ride to Stamford.To accommodate the New Haven Line changes on the shared tracks between Woodlawn and Grand Central, departure times of three Harlem Line trains also are being slightly adjusted to allow for a smooth convergence of the lines at Woodlawn Junction. Metro-North, which operates the New Haven Line under contract to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, will continue to monitor and analyze ridership patterns, train performance and customer feedback over the next several months with the expectation of implementing any further adjustments in the fall timetable that begins in the fall. (The current off-peak Danbury bus/train schedule also has been extended until the new timetable takes effect to allow for completion of grade crossing signal work.) Some minor adjustments to schedule times as well as the sequencing of stops on trains will help to balance ridership loading and make better train connections. According to Malloy, beginning July 7, further adjustments to about a dozen trains will be made on the New Haven Line and on the Danbury Branch to improve overall service.
