Due to bridge and track maintenance on the Montauk branch of the Long Island Rail Road, trains will not run to or from the South Fork from very early Saturday morning, at 12:30 a.m., to Monday morning at 4.

The last eastbound trains to reach any station between Southampton and Montauk on Friday night will be the 10:53 p.m. departure from Jamaica and the 11:53 p.m. from Patchogue. The last westbound train will leave Montauk at 10:04 p.m. Friday. Service will resume with the 4:10 train from Speonk on Monday morning.

Three bus routes will replace service along the Montauk line: Bay Shore through Patchogue, Bellport through Southampton, and Bridgehampton through Montauk. As always the L.I.R.R. recommends confirming times on the TrainTime app or the M.T.A. website.

First East Hampton, Then the World

In the summer of 2011, Alex Esposito and James Mirras addressed a specific need with Hamptons Free Ride, an electric shuttle service that ran in a fixed loop through East Hampton and from parking lots in town to Main Beach. Since then, a “hometown side project” has developed into Circuit, an all-electric, on-demand “micro-transit” solution in more than 40 cities and towns.

WordHampton Moves Downtown

The public relations firm WordHampton has long had its finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the East End business community. That comes with the job. And now, with a new office overlooking Park Place in East Hampton Village, it is part of that pulse in a way that was not quite as tangible from its former headquarters in Springs.
