NJ Transit service into Midtown restored after reroute to Hoboken, agency says

New Jersey Transit service into Midtown Manhattan was temporarily diverted to Hoboken due to overhead wire issues Wednesday morning. 

The issues were reported around 8:15 a.m., but the agency shared an update shortly after 9 a.m. saying service was back on or close to schedule. 

The Amtrak wire issues near Secaucus came in the middle of the morning commute for many riders. 

NJ Transit said Midtown Direct trains on the Morris and Essex, Gladstone Branch and Montclair-Boonton lines were being diverted to Hoboken. All tickets and passes were being cross-honored on buses and PATH at Newark Penn, Hoboken and 33rd Street.
