Steve: The LIRR discontinued the printing of Branch timetables during 2020.
The last issues of all 11 forms to the public were dated March 9 to May 17, 2020.
With the implementation of the Essential Service Schedules and cutbacks timetable printing
was discontinued for all 11 timetable forms and for any special schedule and service changes.
MNCR also discontinued printing their four timetable forms: Harlem, Hudson, New Haven and
Port Jervis/Pascack Valley Line timetables around the same time during 2020.
However...The LIRR printed - but did not distribute - timetables dated May 18 to July 12, 2020
which would have been the regular Summer 2020 schedule changes.
LIST-NRHS has a limited quantity of these rare timetables available.
(sale or donation to LIST-NRHS)
This change ended 46 years of LIRR printed Branch timetables...
May 20, 1974 were the first issues.
There should be some sort of compromise between the MTA and the percentage of riders that want
to continue using Branch line timetables with either a limited release to reduce printing waste or
perhaps even a small charge to obtain a printed copy instead of discontinuing them altogether...
