Posted by New Flyer #857 on Mon Oct 20 10:49:30 2014, in response to History of the F (and V) line, posted by ntrainride on Sun Oct 19 20:29:20 2014. Great treatment of the rich history of the F line! Perhaps only the M rises up to meet the F in terms of dramatic service variations over time, and the M probably wins because it's very mainline has since been changed!Does anyone remember, for a short time before the July 2001 service changes that introduced the W line, that some select rush-hour orange Qs, instead of running their normal route (Queensbridge - 6th Ave - Brighton Express) would go Queensbridge - Broadway Lcl (or Exp?) - Montague - Brighton Express? I distinctly remember that they were regularly scheduled and that there were a few at least in the PM rush. I've always wondered why they did that. It meant that Montague at one point had the M, N, Q, and R, all going through it at the same time I think. Was it to supplement the N and R on Broadway? Either way, I benefitted from that a number of times as I was traveling from Court St to Kings Hwy (Brighton) in the PM rush and got a special direct express service to bring me there. |
