We'll be making some targeted changes to rush-hour LIRR schedules starting on January 22, 2024. These changes respond to your requests for additional through trains from Brooklyn in the afternoon and align service to better match our data on when people are riding. There are no changes to midday, evening, or weekend schedules.

Key changes are outlined below. Detailed schedules will be available on the TrainTime app and our schedules page in early January. We recommend that all rush-hour riders check for possible minor changes that may affect their departure and/or transfer times.
