Long Island Rail Road [LIRR] review: men's restroom deplorable unsafe 65

I live near the Kew Gardens train station, 8340 Austin Street, Kew Gardens, NY 11415. There is a chugging noise that is made when the train crosses the track. This does not happen all the time. It occurs when the train is going fast and is all day long. On the weekends, when the train is going slower, it is not an issue.

Graffiti on your Signal Hut in East Williston on the Oyster Bay line. Young people also walking on railroad property and climbing on LIRR Signal Tower. Can cameras be installed?

the noise is intolerable

This past Saturday my ticket was taken by a male attendant on the way to Penn Station from Port Washington. A woman charged me again at the last stop and refused to even consider I was telling the truth or ask her coworker. I was so furious. Idk if it was me being big black and free or not. It ruined my day.

Today again delayed on LIRR train heading to Hempstead (2:41pm train from grand central on 8/15/23) . Signal trouble today Always something going wrong with these tracks or signals between Jamaica and Hollis station. Hardly any communication to customers on anticipated timeline that problem might get resolved

Passengers shouldn’t be allowed to carry their pets like dogs on Train it’s disturbing and bothersome to other fellows passengers as well as to the animal itself.

At elmont Station the ronkonkoma line goes right past me on a different track, no announcement or notifications. I called customer service and they basically said wait for the next one sorry. No explanation as to what happened and a flimsy reassurance. No respect.

I was going from new hyde park to Lawerence , the train was delayed when reaching jamaica and i have to wait an 1hr to catch the next train because the train was too slow.

Your SCHEDULE TO LONG BEACH FROM PENN STATION ON THE WEEKEND HELPS NO ONE ! no one wants to tranfer and no one wants to use grand ctrl waste of money shoving down throats of riders waste  of money you have no idea of who rides the trains get a grip on reality NOT serving anyone 

The 7:30 am train from little neck to grand central station is packed as usual. No seats. There aren’t enough rush hour trains in the morning. Schedule doesn’t make any sense. No 8am trains for people that need to arrive at work by 9am. People fighting to get few remaining seats.

The 4:46 Brentwood train was 10 cars and now is 8. People are standing in the aisles at Penn and we haven’t hit Jamaica yet. Unacceptable service for the price of a ticket

Everything just sucks. It was better before Grand Central opened up.

Gives about 3 - 5 minutes to transfer from track 1 to 12, that's not enough time.

There are homeless people living at the Merrick train station and it is an unacceptable situation for the commuters and LIRR staff. This has been going on for quite some time. On Monday, May 15th, there was a man with no shirt and a pair of shorts that were falling off. I hope something is being done to address this issue.

I’m a new resident to a apartment called 1875 Atlantic Ave and I live right next to a train I would really love if they can slow down the noise since a lot of people here have been complaining and to slow the tracks or make it it some way that it can be slower

For weeks the fire alarm station is been beeping nin stop, and nothing is been done, the beeping noise is not pleasant, when is the fire alarm vendor repairing it!

This train is late every morning by at least 5-7 minutes. This is unacceptable. It's supposed to arrive in Penn at 7:03. There is no reason why this train should be late every day. At least 3 days a week it gets hung up on route and arrives in Penn at 7:12. I am late to work every day. Unacceptable!

Since February 28, 2023

The east side of the East Rockway station stop (Long Beach branch) is littered with garbage. It's been like that for some time.

How do you have your transfer trains not wait for the incoming train anymore? I was on a train to oyster bay and the train from Penn was a couple of minutes late so the oyster bay train left leaving a bunch of stranded passengers. I was informed by the conductor that there are no more transfer trains.

Where are the direct trains to and from Huntington / Atlantic Terminal?

They all appear to have been removed, an now adding more time to travels, with multiple transfers.

These changes are exceptionally difficult for people having disabilities! Not nice and not fare.

Please reconsider additional schedules as it doesn’t make sense that after 12:46am the next train is not till 2:46am. Why a 2 hrs wait on a weeknight? This is not acceptable especially with your additional trains and the opening of Grand Central terminal.

Leave it to LIRR to screw up "improvements." Horrible morning commute and horrible evening commute with change in schedules etc. due to this new line that probably no one will use. Thanks for nothing. Plus as a senior I have to pay full fare in the morning.

LIRR Monday February 27, and Tuesday 28, 2023

5:46 pm peak

Penn Station to Cold Spring Harbor

Huntington Line

For two days I have been standing due to there is only 8 cars since the changes of time schedules.

I commute everyday and standing and paying high fare is not acceptable.

We deserve better service.

The New schedule on the Babylon branch is so horrible. I haven't had my ticket checked all week because the trains have been so crowded . Running 8 cars all week WTF is that? This is a perfect example of this horribly run organization the LIRR is. What are they thinking? I'm gonna start to car pool again.

My commute since the schedule change is horrendous both to work and home the trains are over packed the platform at Penn is packed the platform at Ronkonkoma is packed this is horrible! Trains are too short can’t find seats this is appalling something needs to be done ASAP!

I use to take the 345 out of Massapequa I know a lot of people that are not happy we need that train back

The 319 is way to early and the 425 packed now and its getting a lot of people in to late

I find that the conductors on LIRR tend to be quite rude ! Never friendly, never smiles , just plain rude and extremely dissmiIve!

I am a commuter from Massapequa to Atlantic Avenue. All direct trains have been eliminated from the schedule in both directions with connecting trains at Jamaica. What happened? The new GCT line took away from all the Atlantic Ave commuters ? Horrible, horrible move. Not everyone goes to NYC and the east side for that matter. Huge fail.

I complained to the LIRR the Bellmore station platform waiting room had no heat several weeks ago. I received a reply that it was working. It is not! I was told by another commuter that the station manager and an electrician looked at it and said an ac guy needs to look at it. So far nothing.

The station is completely dark no power whatsoever no lights passengers at risk. Why is this happening

I was supposed to connect at woodside from willets point for a 10:15 train. The train from willets point was late, forcing me and my children to miss the train home from woodside. Not only did I get charged for the tickets home, but now I was forced to take an Uber home because I couldn’t wait an hour for a new train. Completely unacceptable

Entrance on 225 street to LIRR station

The Mineola station 7:42AM train, track changed at the very last minute. There was no announcement and you had many people running to get to the other side.

Not liking paying for a monthly peak ticket only to be late for work because no one thought it would be a good idea to let people know of a track change.

This is very unexceptionable!

Why are these stations not wheelchair accessible: Laurelton, Rosedale or Locust Manor? It is 2022 and the lirr should be more compliant. What are the plans for future accessibility?

the incessant horn honking when crossing roads is too much. Is it really necessary? 3 blasts when crossing a road every few minutes? starting at 6am and ending at midnight? it's my morning wake-up alarm and it makes me insane. please, can we stop this?

The following stations have remained NON ADA Compliant for 2 decades.

They also have no elevators at these platforms; Amityville, Copiague, Lindenhurst & Massapequa Park.

WHY?

I will take this up with whoever replaces Philip Eng. Thank You.

On the 454 train from Babylon to Penn station, the female ticket puncher was extremely rude. She huffed and puffed and rolled her eyes at customers while asking for tickets.

Can anyone explain why there are trains every 20' huntington to penn station from 2 - 5 pm? Those trains are empty! No one is on the train. On the contrary in the evening after 8 pm there Are only three local train every every hour packed with people ?

Every morning at 9am there is an incredible wait time for multiple trains to come through the Central Islip train station. Traffic goes from the intersection of Wheeler Road and Suffolk Ave all the way to the Alfano School. One of which is a freight train not even taking or dropping off passengers and that train alone takes 6 minutes of wait time.

There is always litter around the train station and on the stairs. Can't someone clean up the area every week or every few days? How hard should it be too do this? See photo attached.

I ran for the train and when the conductor saw me running he called me an [censored] and kicked me off the train, this was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. This was on a train to penn station from new Hyde park
