Metuchen is a New Jersey Transit station on the Northeast Corridor Line, in Metuchen, New Jersey. It is located on Main Street between Pennsylvania and Woodbridge Avenues, with a portion of the platforms on an overpass over Main Street. The north New York Citybound platform and station office are accessible from Woodbridge Avenue, while the south/Trenton-bound platform is accessible from Pennsylvania Avenue. Despite having a station office, there are no station agents and passengers must use a ticket machine. There is a newsstand in the waiting room of the northbound platform that operates on weekday mornings during rush hour. A private concierge service operated between 2001-2003, but is now closed. There is, however, a taxi stand on Pennsylvania Avenue across from the station. The station was built in 1888 and significantly renovated in 1979.
