From 12:15 a.m. Saturday, November 8 to 2:15 a.m. Monday, November 10, there will be major service changes on the Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma branches while we perform signal upgrade work in Hicksville.
Riders east of Mineola on these branches, especially those attending Saturday's hockey game at Madison Square Garden, should use the Babylon or Montauk branches if possible.
Keep reading for more details, and check Schedules or TrainTime to plan your trip.
Port Jefferson Branch
Trains won't run between Mineola and Huntington, and will run in two sections:
- Between Penn Station and Mineola, twice an hour during the day and evening.
- Between Huntington and Port Jefferson, every two hours.
For service between Mineola and Huntington, take shuttle buses, which will run hourly between these stations stopping at Hicksville, Syosset, and Cold Spring Harbor only.
There will be no service at Carle Place and Westbury. For service to/from these stations, take the NICE n22 or n24 bus, which will accept LIRR tickets at no additional cost. Overnight, limited shuttle bus service will be available at these stations.
