F/G Trains Skip Local Stops & More Weekend Subway Service Changes

You’ve probably gotten used to the F and G trains not stopping where you want them to on the weekends, and they’ll be keeping that up again starting just before midnight on Friday — just in a different direction from the past month or so.

Here are the things to watch out for along local lines this weekend:

Coney Island-bound F trains and Church Av-bound G trains skip 4 Av-9 St, 15 St-Prospect Park, and Fort Hamilton Pkwy
Weekend, 11:45pm Friday, March 21 to 5am Monday, March 24
For service to these stations, take the F or G to 7 Av or Church Av and transfer to a Queens-bound F or G. For service from these stations, take the F or G to 7 Av or Smith-9 Sts and transfer to a Coney Island-bound F or Church Av-bound G.

Jamaica-bound F trains run via the A from Jay St-MetroTech to W 4 St
Weekend, 11:45pm Friday, March 21 to 5am Monday, March 24
