It feels like just yesterday that I got drenched by rain during a 15-minute walk because Brooklyn-bound trains were bypassing my stop for the umpteenth weekend this year—but lo, here comes the MTA with more subway changes, and once again my beloved downtown platform will be trainless. The rest of you seem to have it pretty good, though, as just nine lines have changes this weekend, and as an added bonus there will be extra service on the 2, 4, 5, 6, and S trains on Sunday to accommodate spectators for the Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Here's what to expect if you're expected to leave your neighborhood:
1 trains will run express from Van Cortlandt Park-242 St to 215 St from 3:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday. From 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, they'll run every 16 minutes between 137 St and Van Cortlandt Park-242 St in both directions, and the last stop for some trains headed to Van Cortlandt park will be 137 St.
Crown Hts-Utica Av-bound 4 trains will skip Astor Pl from 11:45 p.m. on Friday to 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, and from 11:45 p.m. on Sunday to 5 a.m. on Monday.
On the 6 line, the 116 St station will be exit only from 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday for the 116th Street Festival. Same goes for the 77 St station from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday, for the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Also, from 11:45 p.m. on Friday to 5 a.m. on Monday, Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall-bound 6 trains will skip Astor Pl.
Downtown A trains will run express from 145 St to 59 St-Columbus Circle, from 11:45 p.m. on Friday to 6 a.m. on Saturday.
Downtown C trains will run express from 145 St to 59 St-Columbus Circle from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday.
Jamaica Center-bound E trains will run express from Queens Plaza to 71 Av from 11:45 p.m. on Friday to 6:30 a.m. on Saturday. They'll also skip 75 Av and Briarwood from 11:45 p.m. on Friday to 8 p.m. on Saturday. From 5:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Saturday, World Trade Center-bound E trains will run local from 71 Av to Queens Plaza.
Jamaica-bound F trains will be rerouted via the M line from 47-50 Sts to Roosevelt Av, from 11:45 p.m. on Friday to 8 p.m. on Saturday. They'll also skip 75 Av, Briarwood, and Sutphin Blvd during that time. Also from 11:45 p.m. on Friday to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Coney Island-Stillwell Av-bound F trains will run express from Jay St-Metrotech to 4 Av-9 St. And from 12:01 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Coney Island-Stillwell Av-bound F trains will run express in Queens.
G trains are not running in either direction between Church Av and Hoyt-Schermerhorn Sts from 11:45 p.m. on Friday to 8 p.m. on Saturday. They'll operate in two sections, between Court Sq and Bedford-Nostrand Avs and between Bedford-Nostrand Avs and Hoyt-Schermerhorn Sts, every 20 minutes.
Queens-bound R trains will run express from Queens Plaza to 71 Av, from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday.
