QUEENS — There will be no overnight train service at five subway stations in Queens this week as the MTA makes repairs on the E, M and R train lines, part of the agency's FASTRACK program. 

Starting Monday night and running through Friday morning, service will halt from 10 p.m. through 5 a.m. at the 36th Street, Steinway Street, 46th Street, Northern Boulevard and 65th Street stations in Astoria and Woodside, according to the MTA.

The E and R trains will be running express between Queens Plaza and Roosevelt Avenue, and M service will end early each night between 71st Street in Forest Hills and Essex Street in Manhattan.

Straphangers can instead take a free shuttle bus that will make local stops between Queens Plaza and Roosevelt Avenue-74th Street, the MTA said.
