Late-Night Subway Week: Uptown 1 Skips 72nd to 116th, E Skips Five Queens Stops, D and R Skip in Brooklyn
The MTA's planned work for the week of November 9-13 is a late-night skip map: uptown 1 trains bypass seven Upper West Side stops, Jamaica-bound E trains bypass five in Queens, and the D and R skip stops in Brooklyn — most of it between 11:15 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The overnight map changes shape this week, and it changes by borough. In Manhattan, uptown 1 local trains skip 72nd, 81st, 86th, 96th, 103rd, 110th and 116th Streets from Monday through Friday, 11:15 p.m. to 5 a.m., under the MTA's planned service changes. In Queens, Jamaica-bound E local trains skip 36th Street, Steinway Street, 46th Street, Northern Boulevard and 65th Street on the same nights, 11:45 p.m. to 5 a.m. Brooklyn gets two patterns: Coney Island-bound D trains skip Fort Hamilton Parkway, 50th and 55th Streets on Monday night into Tuesday (11:45 p.m. to 5 a.m.), with trains at 9th Avenue and 62nd Street boarding from the Manhattan-bound platform; and Manhattan-bound R local trains skip 25th Street, Prospect Avenue, 4th Avenue-9th Street and Union Street all week, 11:45 p.m. to 5 a.m.
One daytime item rides along: on Monday itself, from 9:45 a.m. to 3 p.m., all Staten Island Railway trains from Eltingville to Huguenot board from the St George-bound platform — a midday boarding change, not a suspension. The rest of the week's pattern is a night-shift story: every skip window above opens after 11:15 p.m. and closes by 5 a.m., which means the morning and evening rushes run on the normal map and the changes land on the riders who cross the city after the theatres and the late shifts let out.
The desk's standing advice holds, and it is the MTA's own: check the planned-changes page before a late trip this week, because a skipped stop is a longer walk or a back-ride, and neither shows up in the ride itself until the doors do not open. The 4-train late-night suspension and the A train's nine-day Lefferts suspension continue on their own files, already published by this station; this file is the rest of the week's map.
