Weekend links and service advisories

by Benjamin Kabak

Before getting to the service advisories, I have a reader-submitted link to share. One of SAS’s loyal followers and a Transit Museum member went on the City Hall tour earlier this month and snapped some photos. Check ’em out. That’s a fun tour.

Now on with the service changes. Nearly every line is suffering through some weekend-related work. With these changes and the weather, it’s a good weekend to stay indoors. Next week, I’ll cover the disaster in Queens with the 7 train service changes.
