As for the end of the day, trains may depart Far Hills as they are filled, but the last train of the day will not depart Far Hills before 7:03 p.m.
“As is normal with travel to/from special events, capacity on trains can vary depending on when customers choose to travel. Customers should allow additional travel time and be patient if they cannot board the first train they encounter,” NJ Transit stated.
