Sam Posted December 24, 2010 Share #2 Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks again! The "Expanded Service" seems to be only for afternoon service. The and trains won't be running when they'll be needed the most. They should at least run until 1am to handle the massive crowds expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think: Saturday schedule and add service to it. That automatically means no B and no thru M. It is the official TA holiday. Which means NYCT workers get double pay, just like what you would expect if you had to work a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably be up and running by tomorrow at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
