If you pay attention to the MTA, chances are you've heard of "The Weekender". As service changes grew, it became difficult for subway riders to keep track of all the service changes going around in the system so what did the MTA do? They came up with this!
Basically, what The Weekender is is this newsletter that is sent on Fridays roughly between 1 to 3pm. There's also a website version of it. It lists all the subway service changes for the upcoming weekend and lists travel alternatives.
However, as The LIRR Today said it, "a little bit of sibling rivalry develops here." How come the MTA's other agencies don't get one? I live in Sayville so I don't give a hoot if R trains are or aren't running between Bay Ridge and 36 St. I personally enjoy looking at it for the lines I do like such as the 7, 4, and A lines, and it's important to note that they do offer an additional email that lists service changes for only lines you select (it includes railroads).
I'm not complaining about the current Weekender newsletter or website, however I am saying that I think they should implement railroad service changes into it so people who live on the railroads (such as myself) can also make use out of it and everything will be in one central place so it's not an eyesore to try to find everything.
