Better catch that midnight train to Bushwick — because there won’t be another one after it.

The Metropolitan Transit Authority announced this week that L-train service from the Lorimer Street to Myrtle–Wyckoff stations will be suspended on weekday nights until June 4 — and replaced by the much-hated shuttle bus.

The subway shortfall starts at 11:30 pm. Service will be out until 5 am the next day.

Additional track work will continue through June, though transit officials did not explain what kind of service disruptions would occur.

It is a fate that has met nearby lines such as the G train, which will have intermittent suspensions for the next few weekends, though the G train will be working next week when the L train is out.

And as everyone knows, the F train has been replaced by the shuttle buses several times this year, ruining many weekends.

According to New York City Transit, the L line is among the city’s busiest and fastest-growing subway tubes. The Lorimer Street station increased its ridership by 11.5 percent from 2008 to 2009, the biggest jump in the system.
