The new Grand Central Madison train terminal is finally set to open Wednesday, bringing LIRR service to the east side of Manhattan and putting the cherry on top of one of the largest, longest, and most expensive megaprojects in the city's history.
side of Manhattan and putting the cherry on top of one of the largest, longest, and most expensive megaprojects in the city’s history., situated 17 stories underneath Grand Central, is poised to boost train capacity on the LIRR by 40%.
But for its first three weeks, the MTA will only be running a 22-minute shuttle train service between Jamaica and Grand Central Madison, so that customers can, in the authority’s words, “acquaint themselves with the new terminal” before full LIRR service commences. The first passenger service train of the new era will depart Jamaica at 10:45 a.m. Wednesday, traversing the new East River tunnels before arriving at Grand Central Madison at 11:07.
The “Grand Central Direct” shuttle service will operate between 6:15 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays and from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends, the MTA says. Trains will run every half hour in both directions on weekends and during midday hours on weekdays, while peak-period trains will arrive hourly. Schedules can be found
