The LIRR is doing what I call a “soft launch” of the new timetables by releasing them without actually making announcement about it, which I can understand as it only consists of a couple tweaks here and there, nothing really significant.
The only major change to the schedule was the addition of a new shoulder period train to help provide additional capacity during this busy period on the Ronkonkoma Branch:
- A new 3:20pm train from Penn Station to Ronkonkoma, stopping at Jamaica, Hicksville, and all stops to Ronkonkoma besides Pinelawn.
Other than that though, there really isn’t much else going on besides routine fall track work. I was definitely hoping for them to make more adjustments, but at least the addition of a train is something decent. As far as Thanksgiving service goes, from what I’ve gathered, it appears that they aren’t planning on providing any extra service this year to my utter disappointment.
