Effective November 1, 2012 In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the LIRR has been working around the clock to restore as much service as possible. The restoration is beginning in phases as track, power & signal systems are repaired and tested. This brochure includes scheduled departure times for newly restored service to/from Great Neck on the Port Washington Branch.
LIRR Travel Tips During Hurricane Sandy Recovery Period
Because service will be limited, waits will be longer and trains will be more crowded. Customers are advised to consider changing their normal routines to travel later in the morning or later in the evening.
LIRR Fare Policy During Hurricane Sandy Recovery Period
Off Peak fares will be in effect on all LIRR trains until full service is restored. No onboard penalty fares will be charged. All LIRR customers should hold onto their October monthly and current weekly tickets; they will remain valid for travel through Monday, November 5.
