When there is a Reference Note on the branch timetables (like Fridays only or Mondays only) it is printed in the space where it would usually indicate if a train is Peak AM or Peak PM. So is there a way to determine Peak or Offpeak other than looking at arrival departure times?
More specifically, I used the Monday only Train #2705 from Sayville several times in 2014, either to HPA or Penn and paid Offpeak fare. The train is scheduled to arrive Penn 10:05am (change at Jamaica) or HPA 9:57am. So although it doesn't say on the printed branch and station schedules, if I use the current online schedule app for Summer 2015 it indicates it is a Peak train, still arriving Penn 10:05am. Did the LIRR change this for 2015 from what is was last year? The arrival times appear to be the same as last summer. Why would it be a peak train if it arrives at 10:05? Or are they saying since it arrives HPA 9:57 that makes it Peak, even though Penn Station is 10:05?
