Monday, July 10: the day commuters are dreading. Thats when repair work at
Pennsylvania Station begins, ofcially kicking off what Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo
has called the summer of hell and disrupting regular train service from Long
Island, New Jersey and beyond for at least eight weeks.
If you can work from home, you should. If you can plan your vacation around it,
you should.
Sooner or later, though, you will probably need to get into New York City. When
that day comes, heres some information to help you.
LongIslandRailRoad
Full schedules are available here.

Most L.I.R.R. branches will have at least one Penn Stationbound train rerouted
to a subway station. The good news is your L.I.R.R. ticket will get you onto the
subway at no cost during the morning rush.
One important note: The route that takes you to work may not be the same one to
take you home. Be sure to check the Metropolitan Transportation Authoritys
website (http://www.lirrsummerschedule.com/#schedulingchanges) to nd
how your evening commute will change.
Babylon,LongBeachandWestHempsteadBranches
Some Penn Stationbound trains will be rerouted to the Hunterspoint Avenue

station in Queens. From there, a 7 train will take you to Manhattan.

there, you have a number of options to take you to work: The 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q

and R trains all go to Manhattan. Subscribe(https://www.nytimes.com/subscriptions/Multiproduct/lp8HYKU.html?

(Yes, the Babylon branch will have trains diverted to both Queens and Brooklyn.
Be sure to check the schedule
(http://www.lirrsummerschedule.com/#schedulingchanges) to see where
yours will end up.)
FarRockaway,HempsteadandRonkonkomaBranches
Trains may be rerouted to the Jamaica subway station in Queens, where you can
take an E train to Midtown Manhattan or a J or Z train to Lower Manhattan.
Not in the mood for a crowded subway car?
The M.T.A. has set up a number of Park and Ride stations where you can take a
bus into the city, but be forewarned, there are limited numbers of parking spots
at each location.You can see a map of those here
(http://nymta.civicconnect.com/sites/default/les/Penn_park_ride_blue_lo.pdf).
Those hoping to avoid land altogether can take a ferry from Glen Cove (see the
map here
(http://nymta.civicconnect.com/sites/default/les/Penn_ferry_map_June21a_hiresprint_outlines22.pdf)),
but again, parking will be limited.
You could always drive into Manhattan. But we wouldnt recommend it if even
a few of your fellow stranded commuters have the same idea, the roads will most
likely be a mess.
NewJerseyTransit
Full schedules are available here. (http://njtransittheupdate.com/)
MorrisandEssexLines
The brunt of New Jersey Transits disruptions will be felt by riders on the
Midtown Direct lines. Except for a couple of earlymorning trains, all routes on
these lines will end in Hoboken. From there, commuters can get on a New York
Waterway ferry, a PATH train or the New Jersey Transit No. 126 bus for no cost.
New Jersey Transit has created a guide specically for the Morris and Essex
lines: You can nd that here (http://njtransittheupdate.com/morrisessexline
riderguide/). One piece of good news: Your rail ticketswill be accepted on
regularly scheduled New JerseyTransitbuses, and even on some private bus
carriers.
Important note: There will be no Morris and Essex trains leaving from Penn
Station in the evening, so to take a train home, you will have to go to Hoboken.
Main,BergenCountyandPascackValleyLines
Your trains will still end in Hoboken but be ready for PATH trains and ferries
to be swarmed with confused newcomers.
NortheastCorridor,RaritanValley,MontclairBoontonandNorthJerseyCoastLines
Rest easy: Your Penn Stationbound trains will still end up in Midtown. But be
prepared for changes to the regular schedules, and delays, of course.
One caveat with the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast lines: Trains
that normally run to Hoboken will be routed to Newark Penn Station.
Trying to avoid the train altogether?

New Jersey Transit is increasing service on some of its most popular bus routes
into New York City, particularly along the Morris and Essex lines. If your normal
train commute is too hectic, its probably worth trying the bus.You can nd more
information on that here (http://www.njtransit.com/tm/tm_servlet.srv? Subscribe(https://www.nytimes.com/subscriptions/Multiproduct/lp8HYKU.html?

Amtrak
Amtrak
Full schedules are available here. (https://www.amtrak.com/NYPrenewal)
Good news for Acela Express riders: There will be no changes to your service,
according to Amtrak.
On the Northeast Regional line, three roundtrip trains between New York and
Washington are canceled, although service between New York and Boston will be
unaffected.
And on the Empire route, which connects New York City and cities upstate, three
daily northbound and southbound trains will use Grand Central Terminal instead
of Penn Station. You can see which trains will be affected here
