L trains running every 30 minutes, and more weekend subway service changes
The MTA can’t even get its service change updates right: As of 4:50pm, The Weekender is showing duplicates for many track maintenance notifications, as if to repeatedly subject straphangers to service changes in writing. Easily the cherry on the cake of weekend transit hell, however, is that tomorrow, from 7am to 7pm, the L train will be running “approximately every 24 minutes between Broadway Junction and Rockaway Pkwy.” Oof, allow for some serious extra time. Many trains will also be running local.
There will be no 2 trains between E 180 St and Dyre Av. Free shuttle buses provide alternate service. Wakefield-bound 2 trains run express from 3 Av-149 St to E 180 St from Saturday morning to 8pm Sunday – there will also be no 5 service at these stations during this time.
Until the summer, 2 and 3 trains will not be running between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
