I definitely wouldn't do Atlantic-Jamaica-Woodside-Flushing because the trains don't run that frequently at that hour, so missing a transfer at that hour can mean a long wait (meaning you would've been better on the subway). Thank You and look forward to reading your replies. Or is there any other option on the LIRR such as atlantic-jamaica-woodside-flushing that is faster? also, how long is the walk inside the penn station to LIRR? Now do you think this is going to save me time? How much? I would love to save even 20 minutes because at this hour(11:30 PM) I'm really tired and my family(husband and kid) waits for me eagerly. After checking schedules and routes, I see that my best bet would be LIRR from penn station to flushing-main street or woodside(then take the 7). So I'm thining of using the LIRR for my trip.

This is cheap and fine but takes a long time expecialy since the 7 is local at that hour(arrgghh!!). I usually take the 2/4/5/3 and then transfer to the 7. So here's the thing: I would need to leave from downtown brooklyn(atlantic avenue 2/3/4/5) and go all the way to flushing-main street station at around 10:30 PM. I know that there are a few stations in the city such as penn station, woodside,flushing ,jamaica etc. Despite living in NYC for al ong time now, I have no information about the LIRR in the city.
