LIRR To Offer Extra Eastbound Service Ahead Of Storm
Residents of Long Island are not looking forward to anymore snow coming down. Even though it will be nothing like last weekend’s storm, it is an unwelcome site. The LIRR will be trying to aid residents get home ahead of the storm by providing extra eastbound service this afternoon. Here are the details via the release I just received:
MTA Long Island Rail Road will operate eight additional afternoon eastbound trains today (Wednesday, February 13) to accommodate customers who may wish to head home early in anticipation of the coming winter storm.
The extra trains will supplement the LIRR regular off-peak service. The eight additional trains will depart from Penn Station between 2:09 PM and 3:48 PM on the Babylon, Port Jefferson, Port Washington and Far Rockaway Branches. Also, a regularly scheduled train from Huntington destined for Port Jefferson will originate instead from Jamaica at 1:46 PM.
Here is a list of the trains being added to the schedule.
