Work affecting eight subway lines as weekend M heads to Manhattan

by Benjamin Kabak

It’s been just over 10 months since the MTA announced the extension of the M train into Manhattan on the weekends, and that time is finally here. The M train will now terminate at Essex/Delancey, bringing BMT Myrtle Ave. riders over the Williamsburg Bridge and to midtown-bound F trains. This is the first regular weekend service along that route since the 1950s, and the Transit Museum is running a Nostalgia Train on Saturday to celebrate.

Here’s the rest of your weekend:


From 11:45 p.m. Friday, June 6, to 5:00 a.m. Sunday, June 8, South Ferry-bound 1 trains run express from 34 St-Penn Station to Chambers St due to track tie renewal at 34 St-Penn Station.

Looking at the MTA site and weekender on this Sunday morning shows almost none of those service changes in effect.
