On the heels of a slew of stations closing “temporarily,” this weekend’s subway agenda is quite reasonable. Still, though, a number of lines will be skipping multiple stops, masquerading as other trains, and running at spaced out intervals – see the full damage below.
1 trains skip 18, 23 and 28 Sts in both directions in Manhattan – 2 and 3 trains provide alternate service. No 1 trains between 14 St and South Ferry – free shuttle buses provide alternate service.
Wakefield-bound 2 trains skip Bronx Park East, Pelham Pkwy, Allerton Av and Burke Av.
No 3 trains between 96 St and 148 St. No 3 trains running overnight – free shuttle buses provide alternate service, operating between 148 St and 135 St.
Woodlawn-bound 4 trains skip 23 St and 33 St. New Lots Av-bound 4 trains skip 116, 110, 103, 96, 77, 68 and 51 Sts late nights.

Per the whims of the MTA, there will probably be other problems, and the problems stated above are subject to change and worsen.
