Dear Resident:
Please see the important message below from the MTA regarding necessary Sperry Rail testing at the LIRR Port Washington branch this weekend, 10/11/25 - 10/12/25:
From 1AM Saturday, October 11th, through 7AM Sunday, October 12th, we will be conducting necessary Sperry Rail Testing on the Port Washington Branch. During this time, bus service will replace trains between Great Neck and Port Washington. Please note that buses will not stop at Plandome due to low bridges in the area. Commuters traveling to or from Plandome should instead use the bus stop at Manhasset.
The last trains to operate before the service change will be the 11:45PM departure from Penn Station on Friday night and the 12:40AM departure from Port Washington early Saturday morning. Regular train service will resume with the 6:26AM departure from Penn Station and the 7:26AM departure from Port Washington on Sunday morning.
For the most accurate bus departure times and station-specific details, we encourage you to use the TrainTime app or visit mta.info/schedules.
While this important work helps maintain the safety and reliability of our system, we understand that it may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding and patience!
