East New York Posted January 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2011 trannsitblogger.com - If local meteorologists are right, our region will be hit with another snow storm albeit not as strong as the one over Christmas weekend. With the angry sentiment still out there from the performance of the MTA & NYC as a whole during the last storm, the much maligned transit agency is taking steps to improve their performance. Yesterday afternoon, the MTA Long Island Rail Road announced it will be offering extra early afternoon service. Here are the complete details courtesy of the press release I received: - With weather forecasts calling for a winter storm, the Long Island Rail Road has begun storm preparations to ensure safe travel across the region. In addition, the LIRR will be providing additional early-afternoon service Friday, January 7 for customers looking to return home as a result of the forecasted storm. There will be eight additional eastbound trains from Penn Station between 2:10 PM and 3:48 PM. The extra service will include: three trains on the Babylon Branch, three on the Port Jefferson Branch, one on the Port Washington Branch and one on the Far Rockaway Branch.
