As a result of the work, buses will substitute for four overnight trains in each direction at Manhasset, Plandome and Port Washington during the early morning hours of Saturday, May 20. This work is scheduled to inconvenience the fewest number of customers possible.
Eastbound
The four Port Washington Branch trains that depart Penn Station at 1:16 a.m., 3:04 a.m., 5:19 a.m. and 6:18 a.m. will terminate at Great Neck. Customers looking to travel to Manhasset, Plandome or Port Washington will find buses waiting at Great Neck for continuing service.
Buses are scheduled to depart Great Neck 10 minutes after the arrival of the train from Penn Station. Customers should plan for up to 29 minutes of additional travel time.
Westbound
The four trains that normally originate at Port Washington at 2:10 a.m., 4:10 a.m., 5:39 a.m. and 6:39 a.m. will instead originate at Great Neck at their regularly scheduled times. Customers traveling from Port Washington, Plandome or Manhasset will find buses at these stations that will connect to the regularly scheduled train at Great Neck. Buses are scheduled to depart up to 30 minutes earlier than the normal train departure times.
