Multiple downtown train stations on the Upper West Side and in Morningside Heights will be skipped on weekends for the next month due to ongoing “track maintenance” work.
Downtown 1 trains will skip 125th Street, 116 St.-Columbia University, Cathedral Parkway (110th St.), and 103rd St. for the following weekends from around 5:45 a.m. on Saturday through 8 p.m. on Sunday.
- Sept. 19-20
- Sept. 26-27
- Oct. 3-4
- Oct. 10-11
For service to these stations, take the 1 train to 96th Street and then transfer to an uptown local train. The uptown 1 train will be running normally during this period.
The 1 train is not the only Upper West Side train that will experience service changes in the coming days.
For the entirety of September 19 through 20, downtown C trains in Manhattan will skip 116th St., 110th St., 103rd St., 96th St., 86th St., 81st St., and 72nd St., due to the MTA replacing the tracks in this stretch. As a reminder, the B train does not run on the weekends.

They should have done this work over the summer before school started.
Echoing Jim’s comment. What a mess for Columbia students!!
Also, I’m guessing there will be a shuttle for those stations?
Thank you for the alert.
