Posted by W.B. on Fri Mar 31 15:27:18 2023, in response to Re: Tuscarora Surface Almanac for March 30, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Fri Mar 31 12:47:51 2023. That's why I indicated 12th Avenue branch. To distinguish from the West 42nd Pier branch. Which I think ran initially via 10th Avenue northbound, with the Eighth Avenue variant introduced some time in the early '70's for PABT passengers/commuters (and until the '80's, there was a via 10th Avenue northbound and via 8th Avenue northbound). The hours of the 12th Avenue branch seemed to have held since the late 1950's up to that point, based on a revised Fifth Avenue Coach Lines route map which turns up every now and then on eBay.Reminds me of the convoluted backstory behind the so-called "merger" of the FACCo and NYCO #2's upon the 1966 one-way conversions of Fifth and Madison (involving the ex-FACCo route's transfer to the 146th Street depot where the ex-NYCO route had been at the time) - though they were then split into the #2A "Seventh Avenue branch" (9.48 miles) and #2 "Lenox Avenue branch" (7.5 miles), respectively, each terminating north where they always had. Would you know at what point M-18 86th Street buses started terminating east at 91st and York besides their other eastern terminus of East End Avenue? |
