Last week the MTA canceled weekend track work, which would have been very exciting had not a) most of us been trapped inside thanks to the blizzard and b) aboveground trains been forced out of service thanks to all the snow. And it looks like we'll all be housebound once again, since the MTA's gifting us with service changes on 15 lines this weekend. Well, at least you'll get to finish all those shows you got too drunk to binge-watch. Here's what's on tap:
South Ferry-bound 1 trains run express from 14 St to Chambers St from 11:45 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday. Van Cortlandt Park-bound 1 trains run local from Times Sq-42 St to 96 St from 10 p.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday.
