But the 4th Ave. local has always been a local in Manhattan as well. I doubt they'd want a 6th Ave. (Manhattan) express to be the 4th Ave. (Brooklyn) local. Plus the D has gone to Coney Island by one route or another, at least on weekends, ever since 1954 (except during the Manhattan Bridge reconstruction). While the pairing of north and south terminals is usually unimportant, this is one that was, at least initially, promoted quite publicly. But the pairing of terminals for the M certainly is unimportant. So if the Rockaway Beach line is reactivated, let the M run in a spiral path from Metropolitan Ave. to Rockaway Park via Aqueduct, and leave the other trains alone. |
