  • To Our Customers
    To Our Customers Babylon Branch dN Weekend Customers Effective: Saturday & Sunday, February 29 - March 1 NO WEEKEND TRAIN SERVICE Between Babylon and Rockville Centre Buses Will Substitute for Trains; Train Service between Rockville Centre & Penn Station Reduced to Hourly; Customers Advised to Use Alternate Branches What’s happening? On the weekend of February 29 - March 1, train service between Babylon and Rockville Centre will be suspended as LIRR forces perform critical work on the Meadowbrook Substation in Freeport and the new Massapequa Pocket Track. Buses will replace trains between Babylon and Rockville Centre. Train service between Rockville Centre and Penn Station will be reduced to hourly. Babylon Branch service will be affected as follows: Westbound: Customers at stations Babylon through Baldwin will board buses to Rockville Centre, then transfer for hourly train service to points west. Customers at Babylon Station can board a limited number of westbound Montauk Branch trains that will operate via the Central Branch through Hicksville to points west. Eastbound: Board hourly trains to Rockville Centre, then transfer for bus service to stations Baldwin through Babylon. Plan for up to 45 minutes of added travel time. To avoid busing, transfers and delays, customers are strongly advised to use alternate branches, including the Hempstead, Huntington/Port Jefferson, Long Beach and Ronkonkoma branches. To lessen the impact to customers, we will increase service on the Ronkonkoma Branch and add cars to Montauk Branch trains. The Meadowbrook Substation Replacement Project will provide increased third-rail power for our electric fleet and the Massapequa Pocket Track will facilitate turning trains east of Massapequa Station, increasing service flexibility and improving reliability.

  • Long Island Rail Road: On-Time Performance by the Numbers
    Long Island Rail Road: On-Time Performance by the Numbers Report 1-2018 APRIL 2017 Contents Executive Summary ...................................................................................................... 1 Why Trains Are Late or Canceled ................................................................................ 3 Most Frequently Canceled Trains ................................................................................ 5 Longest Train Delays .................................................................................................... 6 Trains with the Worst On-Time Performance .............................................................. 7 Trains with the Best On-Time Performance ................................................................ 9 Pennsylvania Station................................................................................................... 11 Executive Summary The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is the largest commuter railroad in the nation. In 2016, the LIRR carried 89.3 million riders, the most since 1949. A total of 247,000 trains were scheduled, but some were canceled at the terminal before departing, terminated en route or were late arriving at their final destination. A commuter train is considered on time by the LIRR if it arrives within 5 minutes and 59 seconds of its scheduled arrival time. Thus, a train is considered late only if it arrives at its final destination 6 minutes or more after its scheduled arrival time. By this measure, only a relatively small percentage of the LIRR’s trains are late in any given year. However, many commuters have a different experience because of their route or time of travel. The LIRR’s on-time performance, which peaked at 95.2 percent in 2009, has slipped in Figure 1 recent years (see Figure 1). In 2015, on-time Annual On-Time Performance performance across the system averaged 91.6 percent, the lowest level in 16 years. 95% While performance improved in 2016 to reach 92.7 percent, it was still below the target (94 percent) set by the LIRR.
