Just two more days: PATH ready to roll into WTC hub (from today’s New Jersey Star-Ledger). “On late Sunday morning, for the first time since Sept. 11, 2001, a PATH train from New Jersey will pull into Lower Manhattan. The same eight PATH cars that were the last to leave the World Trade Center with passengers before the Twin Towers collapsed will pull into a temporary station at Ground Zero. Gov. James E. McGreevey, New York Gov. George Pataki and other dignitaries will be aboard the ceremonial train. At 2 p.m., the line will reopen to the general public.”

Also, for the first time, the station will accept Metrocards (although I think it will only accept pay-per-ride cards and not monthly cards).

On the PATH page you can look at PDF files of the new schedule, map and brochure.

A bit creepily, the stop will still be known as the World Trade Center station. PATH trains going there will still be labelled “WTC,” just as they were before 9/11.

I’m looking forward to being able to use that stop again, although there’s one thing (among many) that will probably be different. The station used to have a computer terminal at which I could check my Yahoo! e-mail — it came in handy if it was late at night and I had a long wait for the next train. I’ll kinda miss that.

But I’m psyched that I’ll be able to use the stop again.
