Some southbound trains do terminate at Jersey Avenue, using a siding that is also used by special northbound trains that originate at the station. With this layout, northbound trains from Trenton cannot service Jersey Avenue and thus bypass the station en route to New York. Instead, the northbound platform is set behind the southbound platform and the platforms are separated by a parking lot. While it has two platforms, one for trains heading south toward Trenton Transit Center and one for trains heading north toward New York Penn Station, the northbound platform is not positioned across the track from the southbound platform as would normally be the case for most New Jersey Transit stations (especially those along the Northeast Corridor, which have a wider gap between platforms due to an extra track in each direction used by Amtrak).
Jersey Avenue has a different layout than most New Jersey Transit stations. Jersey Avenue opened in October 1963 as part of an experimental park and ride program. Unlike all other stations on the Northeast Corridor Line, Jersey Avenue has low-level platforms (the rest are elevated), and, since there is no wheelchair ramp, it is the only station on the line that is not handicapped-accessible. It is near Jersey Avenue, in an industrial area next to a New Jersey Transit rail yard. Jersey Avenue is a New Jersey Transit station on the Northeast Corridor Line in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
