MTA: MARC service on S schedule for Monday, Dec 20.(sic) Go to www.mtamaryland.com for more details.

Attention MARC passengers--

MARC will operate an "S" schedule on Monday, December 21, 2009 due to Saturday's snowstorm and the Federal Government's decision to close on Monday. Only trains with an "S" under the train number in the timetable will operate.

MARC station parking lots and platforms have or are in the process of being cleared of snow and salt is being applied. The platforms have been cleared, but passing trains continue to blow snow back on them. Please exercise EXTREEM caution tomorrow morning when leaving your car, walking to the platform, and boarding the train:

Leave yourself plenty of time to not only get to the station, but once there to get to the platform.

Use the handrails when using station steps or ramps as icy conditions may still exist.

Hold the handrails while boarding, detraining, and while walking through the train. The vestibule steps can become icy and wet shoes can be slippery on the car floors.

Above all else, wear sensible shoes and clothing. Temperatures will be quite frigid in the morning so bundle up and wear shoes that will allow you plenty of traction.

A decision about service for Tuesday, December 22 will be made Monday afternoon. Thank you for riding MARC Train Service.

MTA: Penn--Under S sched, last departures are earlier; expect delays to Amtrak trains that honor MARC tix

Attention Penn Line Passengers—

Again, MARC will operate an "S" schedule on Monday, December 21, 2009 due to Saturday's snowstorm and the Federal Government's decision to close on Monday. Please take note that under the “S” schedule, the last train departures are significantly earlier. The last train from Baltimore Penn south to Washington will be train 441 (6:25pm). The last train from Washington to Baltimore Penn will be train 442 (7:40pm departure) and the last train through to Perryville will be train 538 (6:05pm departure).

MARC monthly and weekly tickets will not be honored on any additional Amtrak trains. Amtrak trains 151, 181, 85, 148, and 188 are the ONLY Amtrak trains that honor MARC weekly and monthly tickets. As information, Amtrak has experienced significant delays over this weekend due to the storm and there may be significant delays to Amtrak trains on Monday.

Many MARC trains that do operate will make additional stops, as noted with an “S” in the timetable grid.

A special note to Seabrook passengers: Due to the quantity of snow, in order to clear the parking lot, it was necessary to block the entrance of the station that comes off Seabrook Road. The only entrance that will be available to the station is the one off Lanham-Seabrook Road. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
