Grand Central Direct trains will begin when “facility systems testing is complete.” MTA officials didn’t provide an exact date. However, they will only run hourly during weekday rush periods. Grand Central Direct trains will run between Grand Central Madison and Jamaica every 30 minutes during middays and on weekends, according to the MTA. Grand Central Madison is located beneath Grand Central Terminal and Madison Avenue between 43rd Street to 48th Street.

“Customers who are curious about the new terminal will be able to try it out, and we hope anyone who wants to will come take a look at the impressive new space.” “It isn’t every day that customers get access to a world-class new train terminal, so we wanted to open up the opportunity to see the space weeks in advance of the full-scale new service going into effect,” said Catherine Rinaldi, interim president of MTA Long Island Rail Road and president of MTA Metro-North Railroad. Grand Central Madison has not yet opened to full service, but a special direct train between Grand Central Madison and Jamaica will allow the public to begin exploring the new terminal on Manhattan’s east side.
