Monday, March 29: New Timetables in Effect

Starting Monday, March 29, new LIRR timetables will take effect on all branches. Off-peak fares will remain in effect on all trains, even during traditional peak hours.

The new timetables restore weekday service to levels similar to what had been in effect from January 25 - March 5, 2021. Printed timetables will not be distributed. Click here to view timetables for your branch.

Branch-Specific Advisories:

• Port Washington Branch: On the Port Washington Branch, where crews are replacing concrete ties between Mets-Willets Point and Bayside, midday trains will operate every hour instead of every 30 minutes. However, rush hour service will operate at a level similar to what was in place prior to March 8.
• Hempstead Branch: During the evening rush hour, the 5:38 PM train from Penn Station to Hempstead will instead temporarily depart from Atlantic Terminal at 5:46 PM due to trackwork. A connecting train from Penn Station is scheduled to depart at 5:33 PM; change at Jamaica for service to Hempstead.
