Re: History of Q18 Thirtieth Avenue

Didn't the Q19 use to go to Queensboro Plaza via 21st St. along with the Q19A? I recall seeing thus on an old bus map. Perhaps the Q19 was the original Queensboro Plaza 21st St. connection instead of the Q19A, in reverse of the present-day configuration?

Not from what I've read. The Q19 originally went from the Ditmars station via Ditmars and Astoria Blvds south past the Alburtis Avenue station then via Corona Avenue to Flushing (although this may have just been a franchise). By 1936 it ran from the ferry slip up 21st Street to Ditmars then via Astoria Blvd to 102nd Street - its longtime eastern terminal. Soon after the line ran just on Astoria Blvd from 21st to 102nd Streets which continued until it was extended to Flushing.
