The MTA Is Going To F Your L
Jan. 29, 2015, 2:04 p.m.
Sometimes you have to destroy the L train in order to save it.
We'll miss you, L train.
If you live off the L train, now is the time to move. MOVE NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE/GET TRAPPED IN BROOKLYN. Because, as we were forewarned, terrible things are about to come to those onboard the Hippest Silver Bullet. Things that make the 7 train look like the Hogwarts Express. Ready? No, you're not ready. You'll never be ready.
Brokelyn reports that the L will not run overnight between 8th Avenue and Bedford Avenue on weeknights from March 24th to May 22nd. Indeed, it will turn into a pumpkin from midnight to 5 a.m., Tuesdays through Fridays, for six weeks. Hope you don't work in the service industry!
And again, there will be no L service between 8th Avenue and Bedford Avenue on weekends from April 11th to May 18th. That joy kicks off at midnight on Saturday and ends at 5 a.m. Monday. The good news is, this track work will improve infrastructure on the L. And as always, there will be shuttle buses at Lorimer, and the JMZ/G trains will (hopefully) be running, but whatever, we're all dead when the East River overflows.
