Westchester Train Lines - Metro-NorthA few days ago I put up a web page about the Metro-North Commute from lower Westchester to Grand Central Station.   It seem to be quite popular but could only addressed the train lines and did not provide much in the way of detail.  So I will provide a few posts featuring each train line.

As stated in my previous post,  lower Westchester boasts commuting options that are the envy of the Tristate area.  When asked why prices in Westchester have remained so resilient, one of my answers is always “Metro-North.”

The New Haven Line – (or the red line) begins in Grand Central Station in mid-town Manhattan and stretches to New Haven CT.  The first stops are in Westchester County featuring the cities and towns located along the Long Island Sound.

Great overview.  BTW, not sure if you noticed this, but on the train schedules, it's a shorter commute home by a few minutes.  I believe that is due to accounting for people to get onto the train.  Not only do people get off the train faster (since they want to go home  and don't have to worry abt finding seats, but the way the trains go, it's from time it leaves Grand Central (so no waiting time) till it arrives in XYZ town/city.  Vs. going in, it's from when it arrives and has time to pick up all the passengers.  Hope that made sense.

Hi Debbie - True - I was just taking it from the outbound side. i figure being on the cautious side is best.  In the end it is an overview for buyers to get the feel of what an actual commute would be.  A lot of people who work in Manhattan think that Westchester is on the moon somewhere.  Some even call it "upstate."  PLEASE!  The reality check helps...
