JUST IN: #LIRR Babylon branch service is suspended due to a PSEG power outage near Rockville Centre. longisland.news12.com/lirr-b…
LOL
LIRR service may shut down as early as September 18 if railroad unions go on strike.
Avoid nonessential travel and work from home, if possible. If you cannot telecommute, the MTA will provide limited shuttle bus service between certain LIRR stations to transfer points in Queens.
Learn more and see travel alternatives at mta.info/lirrstrike.

Haven’t been on the train in months and of course an old train from 1882 arrives. How are these still in service?! 🙄🙄#longislandfailroad #lirr

I’m really happy with how this story, chronicling the “decline of civility” on the LIRR, turned out. It was a true @Newsday team effort. A special thanks to the tremendously talented Neville Harvey for the brilliant illustrations.

Leaks of water at new grand central Madison station @LIRR

A 2 hour commute to travel 30 miles. The @LIRR is so poorly managed— There are simply not enough trains to service riders appropriately. Standing at Jamaica to change to GC and all the tracks are empty. Why isn’t there a train departing for Penn, GC or Bklyn every few minutes?
Ummmm… no thanks. #LIIRR
WANTED: Police have released pictures of three men wanted in an armed robbery onboard an #LIRR train. longisland.news12.com/police…

LIRR trains are still not traveling to the new $10+ billion Grand Central Terminal halfway through January because [reasons] #lirr
LIRR trains are running on a weekday schedule today, with off-peak fares in effect all day in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday.

Why is my express-to-hicksville #lirr train making extra stops? I just want to get home!
The Betchy Commuter retweeted
Am I reading this correctly, was the ventilation system at Grand Central potentially a known problem 8+ months ago? @AlfonsoReports ? Or just a blanket statement that there could be any sort of unanticipated code issue? 🤔 #lirr

The trains are sitting in a yard in Ronkonkoma collecting rust. The Rail Road apparently cannot even revert back to the schedules they had in March 2022 to accommodate track work that was complete in OCTOBER because [reasons] #lirr
The sub-sub-sub basement of Grand Central looks good in these new pics from the MTA, but where are the trains? cc @yfreemark thetransportpolitic.com/2023…
