I'm just gonna guess here, but I suspect the thennewish R16s had been delivered with BMT route numbers, whereas the decsion to go to letters was made just before delivery of the R27s and R30s. Since the 27/30 and for that matter, the R32s went to the Southern Division, and replaced Standards (which had no front route designations) and soon, the Triplexes, they were able to make a "clean break" to the new route designations there, but out Wast, they felt stuck with the "legacy" designations. It took something as big as Chrystie St to go "all the way"... |
