I’ll get to the service alerts in a minute, but I wanted to take a second to thank those who help bring Second Ave. Sagas to the masses. I run this site mainly as a labor of love and as an outlet for my writing. One day, I’d love to make a living off it, but for now, I do what I can with those interested in advertising. Three of my top site sponsors recently re-upped their ads and deserve a big “thank you.” They are:
- Station Stops: Metro-North Schedules for iPhone
- iTrans NYC: The ultimate subway app
- The Next Train: LIRR schedules in your pocket
I’m always looking for more site sponsors too. So if you’re interested in advertising on Second Ave. Sagas, drop me a line.
Anyway, on to the weekend service changes. All of Transit’s planned weekend work — except for one change — has been canceled due to the snow that, as of nearly 1 a.m. on Friday night, still hasn’t started to fall. For the MTA, the decision to call off the various maintenance projects is a costly one, and if the snow does not, it will have been a losing gamble. The work on the 7 line, though, continues because this project must wrap before baseball season. If it does snow, some lines will run different service patterns. So it’s a good idea to listen to on-board announcements this weekend.
From 11:30 p.m. Friday, February 5 to 5 a.m. Monday, February 8, there are no 7 trains between Times Square-42nd Street and Queensboro Plaza due to track panel installation on the Davis Street curve. The N/Q and free shuttle buses provide alternate service. Note: 42nd Street Shuttle S runs overnight. Q trains are extended to/from Ditmars Blvd.
