Early Morning Train Will Be Departing Late Next Week
The LIRR has scheduled delays to allow for tunneling in Western Queens.
If you're planning to travel the LIRR at a painfully early hour next weekend, be advised that some Westbound trains will be late.
The night train to Manhattan that usually departs from Bayside at 3:57a.m. will be leaving at 4:27a.m. on Saturday, May 5 and Sunday, May 6.
The 30-minute delay is due to construction at Harold Interlocking in Sunnyside, Queens. It's part of the $7 billion East Side Access project to connect the LIRR service to Grand Central Terminal.
