On Monday, November 15, 2021, new timetables will take effect on all Long Island Rail Road branches. Highlights of this schedule change include the restoration of two rush-hour Port Washington Branch trains, and adjustments to several morning Ronkonkoma Branch trains to improve service reliability during the fall/winter seasons when slippery rail and/or icy conditions can affect train operations. All riders should check the LIRR TrainTime app or view the latest PDF timetables for their branch. Printed timetables will not be distributed.
We anticipate that these schedules will be in effect through March 20, 2022. However, as we continually monitor changing ridership, adjustments may be made sooner. Please check the TrainTime app or sign up for e-mail alerts to stay up to date on any schedule changes.
