LIRR Advisory: NEWSFLASH...It rains in NY?
Due to severe weather earlier today, eastbound NYC Transit customers from the Queens Boulevard subway lines are expected to use LIRR service and/or buses. The LIRR will cancel and combine some trains to provide capacity for dedicated shuttle trains stopping at Penn Station, Woodside, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens and Jamaica. Specific announcements will be made at Penn Station. Additional NYC Transit and LIRR personnel will be assigned to key locations to provide customer assistance. See www.mta.info for specific information or read below.
Customers at Penn Station will experience numerous track changes and are advised not to descend to the platform until their train has been posted. Customers should expect lines and delays. LIRR staff and MTA Police will regulate the flow of customers onto trains, but expect crowding.
If possible, customers should stagger their work hours to avoid travel at peak times.
The LIRR will accommodate subway customers with MetroCard.

How come no delays on Ronkonkoma...that's the crappiest line.
I guess they're trying to be nice to us.
A little rain and the whole system comes to a halt.

I'm thoroughly annoyed by this. It's not like rain hasn't been around since BEFORE the LIRR existed.
Yes it was raining, but come on -prepare for that kind of weather in advance!
