LIRR Christmas 2018 Service Plan
Here is the Christmas 2018 LIRR service plan that the MTA asked me to share with my readers:
MTA Long Island Rail Road is adding 13 trains from Penn Station to its regular eastbound afternoon schedule on Friday, Dec. 21, and again on Monday, Dec. 24, to accommodate the large number of customers leaving work early to get a head start to their holiday weekends and festivities.

Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday, December 22-23 and 25
LIRR will operate on a regular weekend/holiday schedule from Saturday, Dec. 22, and Sunday, Dec. 23, as well as on Christmas Day, Tuesday, Dec. 25.
Family Fare
Customers are reminded that the holidays are a great time of year to take advantage of the LIRR’s Family Fare. Up to four children (ages 5-11) can ride one-way for $1 each when accompanied by a fare-paying adult (18 years or older) on any Off-Peak or PM Peak train. Additional children pay the LIRR’s Child Fare, which is 50% off the regular adult peak fare. Children under age 5 always ride the LIRR for free.
