The arrival of full Long Island Rail Road service at Grand Central Madison on Monday means a whole new schedule for riders to get used to — and those traveling to-and-from Brooklyn say they're not feeling the love.
“It’s certainly a lot different, and a little confusing,” said Ed Friedman, a resident of Merrick, Nassau County who arrived at Atlantic Terminal at 10 a.m. on Feb. 27. “Now there are no more direct trains here, so you have to change to another track all the way at the other end of the Jamaica station. So it’s very difficult, but it takes some getting used to.
“They changed my train from 9:22 to 9:08 or 9:34,” Campbell told amNewYork Metro. “If I get there at 9:34, then I get to work too late. But 9:08 gets me there too early.” A few Brooklyn trains per day out of Atlantic Terminal will still provide service east of Jamaica, en route to Freeport, Hempstead, or West Hempstead.
