===Service improvements and cutbacks=== NJ Transit has made some service improvements within the constraints of the timesharing agreement, with the construction of a mid-line yard in 2005 to permit later Burlington arrivals in the evening, and earlier departures after 6 a.m. However, most of the changes noted to facilitate late night service (after 10 p.m. on nights other than Saturdays) have been reversed, as listed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.njtransit.com/tm/tm_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=PressReleaseTo&PRESS_RELEASE_ID=2321|title=New Jersey Transit|work=njtransit.com|access-date=2007-07-24|archive-date=2007-09-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930184806/http://www.njtransit.com/tm/tm_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=PressReleaseTo&PRESS_RELEASE_ID=2321|url-status=dead}}</ref> Since the River Line opened, NJ Transit has made the service enhancements listed below (some of them subsequently reversed): * Introduced 15-minute peak-period service in June 2004 * Enhanced Capital Connection bus service in Trenton to provide better connections for state workers with River Line trains in June 2004 * Launched new early morning service to Trenton from Florence and Roebling in September 2004, enabling customers to make earlier connections to Northeast Corridor trains * Launched new early service from [[Cinnaminson]] to Camden in January 2005 * Launched late-night bus shuttle service between 36th Street Station in Pennsauken to Route 73/Pennsauken in 2006. This no longer operates as of 2010, although the bus route 419 does serve both locations. * Added early-morning trips from Burlington South and Burlington Towne Centre stations in September 2006 to create additional Northeast Corridor and PATCO connections * Added a later, 9:28 p.m. Trenton departure in September 2006 on weekdays (9:30 p.m. on Sundays) as far as Burlington South Station. * Added late-night, seven days a week service from Camden to Pennsauken, with the last train leaving Entertainment Center Station at 12:00 a.m. ''This option was discontinued in 2010, although the bus route 419 does serve stations between the Walter Rand Transportation Center and Pennsauken/Route 73 as well as several other stations as far north as Riverside. The last train from Camden leaves the Walter Rand Transportation at 9:38 p.m. and arrives at Pennsauken/Route 73 at 9:47 p.m.'' Some late night service continues to run, on Saturdays, and, on irregular occasions, for special events on the Camden Waterfront or at the Entertainment Center in Camden. * Added early-morning trains for both weekdays and weekends, including a special limited-stop weekday train leaving at 5:53 a.m. from Walter Rand Transportation Center and arriving at Trenton at 6:42 a.m. (normal runs take 58 minutes,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.riverline.com/LRT0343.pdf|title=Riverline.com|date=27 May 2007|publisher=[[NJ Transit]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927055854/http://www.riverline.com/LRT0343.pdf|archive-date=27 September 2007|url-status=dead|access-date=27 July 2017}}</ref> compared to the 49 minutes for the limited-stop train), allowing commuters ample time to transfer to a 6:50 scheduled New York City-bound express train.{{citation needed|date = March 2014}} There is no northbound late night service except on Saturdays due to budget cuts; the last northbound train leaves the Walter Rand Transportation Center at 9:38 p.m. Sundays through Fridays and goes only as far as the Pennsauken/Route 73 station. The only option to reach some stations north of the Walter Rand Transportation Center from Camden on these nights is the [http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/bus/T0419.pdf Route 419 bus]{{Dead link|date=January 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} which stops at each station as far north as Riverside while the Atlantic City Rail Line from Philadelphia and Lindenwold connects with the River Line at the Pennsauken Transit Center Station.{{cn|date=January 2025}}
