WHAT'S NEW
LIRR Weekend Service Suspended on Long Beach and Far Rockaway Branches
Buses will substitute for trains on the MTA Long Island Rail Road’s Long Beach and Far Rockaway branches during the weekend of April 17-18 as LIRR forces carry out a signal cutover project in Valley Stream, a critical component of our Superstorm Sandy restoration efforts that will improve system resiliency and reliability. The work will begin on Friday night and will require a 54-hour suspension of train service on these two South Shore branches and at the Valley Stream Station (service to/from the station will instead be provided by bus). Multiple south shore branches will have significant service changes and special timetables will be in effect on all LIRR branches for the entire weekend. To avoid delays, customers are advised to use the Babylon Branch or North Shore/Main Line branches on the weekend of April 17-18. For more information go to the LIRR website.
