With the new addition of more service running to Greenport, some of the new service does not make sense.
The old weekend service, which had a Greenport arrival around noon, and 5pm has now been moved an hour earlier. So now weekenders wanting to go to Greenport have to get their ass to Penn (or other connecting station) one hour earlier! That is 8am if you are traveling from Penn. So now after getting up early for work all week, you now still have have to rush to catch an early train on the weekend if you are going out East for the day. Great thinking and planning LIRR!
Always one step up and two steps back for Greenport service!
