Home Service Advisories PATH service returns; weekend work affects eight subway lines

PATH service returns; weekend work affects eight subway lines

by Benjamin Kabak

A bit of trans-Hudson good news: After nearly a year’s worth of work for Sandy-related repairs, the PATH Train’s tunnel between Exchange Place and the World Trade Center is now reopen on the weekends. The bad news is that in the second half of 2015, the Journal Square-33rd Street segment of the system will experience weekend shutdowns, and the Exchange Place-WTC segment has more work to go yet. Crews are working on desalination, train operations systems upgrades and safety improvements.

Meanwhile, it’s a slow weekend for service changes as the holidays descend on New York City.

Any idea how long these weekend service changes on the G will last? I can’t even remember how long it’s been since we had a normal weekend schedule.

For now, the weekend of Jan 3 is scheduled to have normal G service.

The last time there was “normal” G service, the line went to Forest Hills.

Needless to say, the guy who killed two police officers and then shot and killed himself in the Myrtle-Willoughby G station has made this weekend’s limited G service even more limited, with no trains south of Metropolitan or north of Bedford-Nostrand Saturday afternoon and evening.
