Reported last Friday that there is no Roosevelt Island F Train service to Manhattan this President’s Day weekend.
But, apparently there is R Train service
Image From MTA from Roosevelt Island to Manhattan this weekend and the MTA did not inform us. According to the Roosevelt Island Twitterverse:
Hi Bill, R trains will be stopping at Roosevelt Island all weekend including tomorrow President’s Day. Please note: R service does not operate late nights. See here: https://t.co/vUEG44MGtM ^JGNYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) February 19, 2018
Good morning Eric, after Roosevelt Island, the next stop on the Bay Ridge-bound R train is Lexington Av-63 St followed by 57 St-7 Av. At Lexington Av-63 St, the free walking transfer is available to the 4,5,6 trains. ^JGNYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) February 19, 2018
Good morning, Manhattan bound F trains are running on the E line from Roosevelt Av to Canal St until Tuesday 5am, so it would not be stopping at Roosevelt Island. ^AMNYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) February 19, 2018
Sorry about the confusion yes the R train is on the F line between 57 St-7 Av and 36 St (QNS). ^AMNYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) February 19, 2018
