40MntVrn Posted August 15, 2021 Share #129 Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Quote On Sunday, August 29, we're adding more train service to our Hudson, Harlem and New Haven lines. Off-peak fares will remain in effect. The increase will bring our full weekday service to 82% of the pre-pandemic schedule. It will also feature a return to full weekend service on all three lines, something to celebrate just in time for weekend excursions and leaf-peeping season. Additionally, direct service between Grand Central Terminal and Wassaic, and between GCT and New Canaan resumes. On the Hudson Line 25 additional trains, with 142 weekday trains On the Harlem Line 37 additional trains, with 189 weekday trains On the New Haven Line 40 additional trains, with 246 weekday trains Starting Monday, Aug. 30, ferry service to meet peak AM and PM trains on the Hudson line between Haverstraw and Ossining, and Newburgh and Beacon resumes. Due to ongoing extensive renovations and upgrades in partnership with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), the Waterbury Branch will continue to offer substitute busing through September. Please check back for opening updates as work progresses. Very excited to see the return of some semi-express AM/PM runs--my current inbound/outbound trips resemble pre-pandemic volume. I do expect most of the new trips to run light until Oct. Edited August 15, 2021 by 40MntVrn Confusion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted November 1, 2021 Share #144 Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) ^^^^ Wow, never seen a commuter railroad have so many service outages requiring shuttle buses. I hope they use MTA buses for equipment. Years ago they used to use NYCT/MTA bus for equipment but it seems like they don't do that in recent years unless it's an unplanned emergency. Lol at Hempstead trains being rerouted to Mineola, that is so NYC Subway like! Edited November 1, 2021 by trainfan22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share #145 Posted November 14, 2021 There's currently a broken rail near Jamaica making all Hempstead Branch trains from Mineola operate express from Floral Park to Jamaica (since 10 AM this morning). So that means that the shuttle bus between Queens Village and Bellerose will not connect to any westbound train (unless they extend it to Jamaica). They're cross-honoring tickets solely on the Q36 bus (which doesn't serve Floral Park Hollis, or Jamaica stations), so those who use the train to/from Bellerose, Queens Village, and Hollis have it a bit rough right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share #148 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Taking this from the Random Thoughts Thread: On 1/20/2022 at 1:27 PM, nightmare402 said: interesting service change for LIRR Results for Ronkonkoma Planned Work Trains run every 2 hours, bypass Hicksville and Bethpage, and take up to an hour longer than normal Jan 29 - 31 and Feb 5 - 7, Sat 12:15 AM to Mon 3:15 AM Bi-level diesel trains will run every two hours between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma while we test signals near Carle Place as part of the LIRR Expansion Project. Between Jamaica and Farmingdale, they will travel via Babylon and will change directions twice, but not make any station stops. This means that your trip will take up to an hour longer than normal. If you typically use Bethpage, or travel between Hicksville and points east of Farmingdale, a bus will run between Mineola, Hicksville, Bethpage, and Farmingdale. The last normal trains to operate are the 11:14 PM from Penn Station and the 11:16 PM from Ronkonkoma on Friday night. Service resumes with the 3:15 AM from Penn Station and 4:06 AM from Ronkonkoma on Monday morning. If possible, consider using the Babylon or Montauk Branches. Detailed schedule information will be available as the work approaches. Posted: 01/18/2022 04:47PM The work has been cancelled for this upcoming weekend due to the winter storm coming our way, although it is still on for the next one. It's unknown if they will try to expedite everything into that one weekend, or if the work altogether will be delayed by one week because of this. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
