"and it changed itself to a 2 train at 135th. "Interesting. Maybe it became a 2 train because the C/R didn't know how to program the computer for "Brooklyn bound 5 train via the 7th Av line" so he/she just decided to make it a 2. I have been on 2 trains routed via the Lex and the recorded announcements are always "This is a Bronx bound 2 train via the Lexington Av line". "I feel that those of us that ride the IRT in Manhattan are used to seeing the 2 on the 5 or vice versa already." I would not be so sure of that - one time I was on Grand Central and a N/B 2 came in, the appropriate announcements made and people on the platform were still asking "Does this train stop at 59th St, 86th St etc). IMO most of the people who live/work in Manhattan just get on any train that comes in not caring about the number or whether is is staying local (or express). |
