This station remains in heavy use even when there is rain, sleet, and snow. There are no ticket office hours inside of this station, but there are 2 ticket vending machines for your train ride(s) and and 2 automated parking vending machines to pay for your parking space in Lot 1 (station side parking lot). All of these machines are located next to the bike parking located under the large "Morris Plains Station" sign.
