The only reason you should take a train this weekend is to go to the beach—it'll be nearly tolerable this weekend, especially on Saturday; summer is dying, and this may be the last one we ever have, so send this season out with your toes in the sand. Still, there are things to watch out for no matter where you insist on traveling. Here's what's on tap this weekend:
South Ferry-bound 1 trains will make express stops from 145 St to 96 St from 11:45 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.
2 trains will not run between Manhattan and Brooklyn in either direction from 11:30 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.
