I love the MTA press releases. They never mince words. Last night’s release about this weekend’s service changes says that there are changes affecting service on the 1234567ACDEFQRW. Right there, it’s easier to list the trains running with no changes.
Anyway, what’s on tap for the weekend?

In addition, my 3 a.m. Sunday uptown A train was actually an F train that ran on the A line — until Penn Station, after which it began acting like an F train. Nowhere in the service advisories!
