Limited Subway Service To Resume Thursday

Subway

Governor Cuomo is talking to press as we speak. The Daily News summarizes:

Gov. Cuomo announced that limited commuter rail service on Metro North and the Long Island Rail Road will begin at 2 p.m. today–and some subway service will follow tomorrow.

The subway service, he said, will be supplemented by a “bus bridge” from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

While he didn’t specifically say which lines will be back up, he did explain that there will be no service in Manhattan below 34th Street because there is no power for that service.

Bus service is back up and running fully today in the city, he said.

Meanwhile, three of the seven East River tunnels have been pumped and are free of service.

More service will be up and running ” on a day to day basis,” he said.

Cuomo appealed for continued “patience and tolerance” from New Yorkers.

NY1 says the subways most likely to come back soon are 4, 5, 2, 3 and F. Least likely: R, A, C, L, and 7. But they also point out things will be rerouted, and we don’t really know exactly what they’ll do yet.

1,2 train north of 42nd Street, 4 north of 42 and btw Borough Hall and New Lots
5 train in Brooklyn, 42nd St Shuttle
