LIRR Implements Schedule Changes to Address Grand Central Opening Issues

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is implementing schedule changes to address issues stemming from the opening of Grand Central Madison. The adjustments include the introduction of a morning express train from Oyster Bay to Jamaica, adding express trains from Hicksville to Jamaica, restoring some Brooklyn trains, and rerouting certain Grand Central trains to Penn Station. While some commuters appreciate the changes, others believe there is still room for improvement, such as better-timed connections at Jamaica. The first express train under the new schedule departs Oyster Bay on Tuesday.
