The Port Authority has released to the media some video of its PATH stations as they got flooded. From New York, NY Daily News, 11/16/12:

New dramatic video shows Hurricane Sandy turning the Hoboken and Exchange Place PATH stations into tunnels of roaring whitewater – with rippling waves and waterfalls.


Story and the video are here.

Newark, NJ Star-Ledger, 11/24/12:

PATH service to World Trade Center to be restored Monday


Weekday PATH train service to the World Trade Center will be restored starting Monday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced today.

This story

So the entire system including the newly restored Christopher Street, WTC and Exchange Place stations, will still be running only 5 am until 10 pm to alllow for repairs to conitnue at night. And on weekends for an interim period, there will still be no WTC nor Exchange Place service, with the present operating pattern (Journal Square-33rd extended to Harrison and Newark) continuing. While the station reopenings are welcome, the system still does not adequately serve those working odd shifts -- a situation hopefully rectified once repairs are complete.

PATH train service in Hoboken to resume in 'weeks'; officials recount devastation wrought by Sandy


Service to the Hoboken PATH station should be restored in a matter of “weeks rather than months,” Stephen Kingsberry, the acting director of the Port Authority Trans Hudson said today during a tour of the once-flooded train tunnels.

Here is the story.

Officials reviewed infrastructure for flood mitigation, but more preventive measures may not have helped because of the age and location of the station. View the full article

CBS New York, 12/4/12:

Riders Petition For Restoration Of 24-Hour PATH Service


When PATH rail service was restored after superstorm Sandy, it was not to the entire system. Given the flooding, most people seem understand that.

But the service that was restored is only in operation from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. and some riders have had it with limited service. They want 24-hour service.

Some good news for PATH and the city of Hoboken. From WABC-TV, ABC-7 in New York, NY, 12/18/12:

PATH service returning to Hoboken Wednesday


Governor's Cuomo and Christie have announced that PATH rail service will resume at the Hoboken station with service to and from 33rd street beginning Wednesday at 5 a.m.

This story

While every station will now have PATH back, remember that the system will still run 5 AM until 10 PM for a while, and that the Hoboken-WTC line still won't be running. Hoboken will only be connected with the New York City stations on the Midtown line, so one would need to transfer at Christopher Street, doglegging through the Hudson River tunnel, to access the rest of the system. On weekdays, it will be 3 of the 4 lines (HOB-33, JSQ-33, NWK-WTC), and on weekends they will run only NWK-33 and HOB-33, which leaves Exchange Place and World Trade Center unserved once more.
