When the next train leaves.
Somerset's 11 rail stations across the Raritan Valley Line and the Gladstone Branch. Times come from NJ Transit's own published schedule and switch to weekend service automatically. The county has no Northeast Corridor station of its own; this page doesn't track delays either, so before you run for the platform, check the live board linked below.

Worth knowing before you ride
- Raritan Valley Line trains mostly end at Newark Penn Station. For New York, change there to a Northeast Corridor train on the same ticket. Trains marked one seat to New York run through with no transfer.
- Gladstone Branch trains mostly run to Hoboken, which needs a PATH train or ferry for Manhattan, not a same-railroad transfer, or transfer at Summit to a Morristown Line train. A small number run one seat to New York Penn Station directly. Weekends, the branch runs Summit–Gladstone only; trains marked ends at Summit require that transfer.
- Somerset has no Northeast Corridor station of its own. For a direct one-seat ride to New York on that line, commuters drive to New Brunswick or Metropark, both in Middlesex County.
- Weekend and holiday service is thinner and this page reflects that automatically: the times shown are always today's actual service calendar, not a generic weekday list.
- Gladstone is the western end of its branch, so everything leaving it heads east. Raritan and Bernardsville are mid-line turnback points: some westbound trains end right there instead of continuing further west, and those are marked ends here rather than listed as a normal departure.
- Buy tickets in the NJ Transit app before boarding: it holds your ticket on your phone and shows live status for the exact train you're waiting on.
