Major Service Disruptions Planned On LIRR Next Month
By: NY1 News
Quote:
Long Island Rail Road riders are in for a couple of rough weekends in the coming months.
Trips will increase by up to 70 minutes on October 23rd and 24th, and November 6th and 7th, when service will be sharply cut down as crews replace the switching system.
Riders are being advised to use the railroad for essential business only.
Only three trains per hour will travel to or from Penn Station. Instead, riders will need to use the E train to get between Jamaica and Penn Station.
Shuttle buses will replace many trains through Queens and Long Island.
There will be no train or bus service whatsoever to the three stops in Brooklyn, or to Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Hollis, Locust Manor, Laurelton, Rosedale, Merillon Avenue, New Hyde Park and St. Albans.
The LIRR is replacing the antiquated switching system that caught fire last month – causing widespread cancellations.
