LIRR adds trains for Giants parade goers

The Long Island Rail Road is adding extra trains to accommodate New York Giants fans headed to Tuesday's ticker-tape parade.

Seven westbound trains between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. and nine eastbound trains between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. have been added on Tuesday, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said.

The LIRR advises customers to "save time and avoid lines" by purchasing round-trip tickets, including MetroCards, for connecting subway and bus service in advance.

The railroad said no alcoholic beverages will be allowed on trains and platforms or at the stations all day, and MTA police will confiscate alcoholic beverages "observed or found," the MTA said in a Monday news release.

Revelers can ride to either Penn Station or Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn and, the MTA says, "from Penn Station, catch a downtown subway train: Catch the 1 to South Ferry or the 2 or 3 to Fulton St or Wall St. From Atlantic Terminal, catch a Manhattan-bound subway. Ride the 2 or 3 to Fulton St or Wall St, the 4 or 5 to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall, or the R to Rector St."
