MTA: LIRR service to Grand Central Madison to begin Wednesday
The countdown is on for the opening of
the long delayed Grand Central Madison station.
The MTA announced
on Monday that Long Island Rail Road service to Grand Central Madison will
begin Wednesday.
The first train is
scheduled to originate at Jamaica at 10:45 a.m., and run express to the new
station where it is scheduled to arrive at 11:07 a.m.
The LIRR will be
offering shuttle service from Jamaica to Grand Central Madison for at least
three weeks.
Full service from
Long Island to Grand Central will be scheduled, following the initial phase.
The MTA had hoped
to finish the project by the end of 2022, but a ventilation issue led to
delays.
