Buses Replacing Trains From Ronkonkoma To Farmingdale Sunday

Buses will be replacing Long Island Rail Road trains between the Ronkonkoma and Farmingdale stations early Sunday morning from 12:45 a.m.-7:30 a.m.

According to an advisory issued by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), LIRR workers are going to be doing switch replacement work in the Brentwood area during the seven hour outage.

Eastbound customers should expect up to 24 minutes of additional travel time, and westbound should expect up to 41 minutes.

Westbound customers will board a bus at stations in Ronkonokma through Wyandanch and then ride to Hicksville to board a train to resume their trip. Farmingdale and Bethpage customers will board normally.

Eastbound customers traveling to Wyandanch through Ronkonokma stations will board a bus at Hicksville. Customers heading to Farmingdale and Bethpage will stay on the train.

Additionally, construction at Farmingdale station's parking lot will temporarily change its bus stop this weekend to be near the north side (westbound) platform, opposite the station building.

A special timetable for the Ronkonkoma line for Sunday is also available on the MTA's website, which can be found by clicking here.
