Friday trains being added year-round to the South Fork Commuter Connection Service, LIRR says
Friday trains that normally stop running for the summer are being added to the South Fork Commuter Connection Service, as part of a reshuffling of Long Island Rail Road schedules to shift trains to the new Grand Central Madison terminal.
MTA spokesman David Steckel said that as part of the redo, hundreds more daily trains have been added to the schedule throughout the system, and the additional trains for the South Fork are part of that shake-up.

Currently they run it as a train with 2 cars and an engine. It's not a higher capacity set as you'd find from up island.
That being said, there are a bunch of bus connections available at Patchogue, and I'm sure there's people from the central and western sections of the island who either commute or are interested in commuting out to the Hamptons. There also shouldn't be this huge midday gap.
