Evening rush-hour train commuters heading back to Fairfield County should be prepared for crowds and street closures Thursday evening near Grand Central due to a protest of an appearance by presidential candidate Donald Trump, Metro-North warns.

"Due to nearby demonstrations starting at 5 p.m.," Metro-North says on its website, "Please allow for extra travel time to/from Grand Central. Customers are encouraged to use the North End Access to the Terminal at either the 47th & Madison or 48th & Park Entrances."

Thousands of protesters are expected outside the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which is next to Grand Central. Trump is to appear at a $1,000 per person New York State Republican Gala event there. Fellow GOP hopefuls Ted Cruz and John Kasich are also expected to attend the gala.
