LIRR: Partial Service Restored; Not in Great Neck

Beginning this afternoon, the Long Island Rail Road will begin to provide limited service on part of their respective networks at 2 p.m., but not in Great Neck.

While both limited rail and subway service is being restored, the work to restore full service on on the Port Washington Line is ongoing, according to a statement on the LIRR website.

Starting at 2 p.m. Wednesday, the LIRR will begin operating hourly train service  between Jamaica and Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn. Beginning tomorrow, customers will be able to connect to shuttle buses from Barclays Center to Manhattan. Off-peak fares will be in effect on LIRR trains until full service is restored and no onboard penalty fees will be charged.  

Train service remains suspended due to the severity of Hurricane Sandy and its impact on our service territory.  

Rail road workers continue to remove debris and make repairs to its West Side Yard and clear flooding in two East River tunnels, according to the MTA. 

"It is still too early to say how long it will take to restore the system to full service," said the MTA in a statement Wednesday. "This is will be an exhaustive, time-consuming process with one goal: to restore safe and efficient service to 8.5 million daily MTA customers."
