From a previous message:"Ideally, the IND would have built a 6 track station under Lafayette with entrances at Flatbush and Fulton. With a potential connection to the IRT Nevins station and a block long out of system transfer to the LIRR terminal, this would be a more useful location for an express station than Hoyt/Schemerhorn." ---------- Remember that with the planning and building of the IND system in the 1920-30's - the planners were NOT looking to provide connections to other transit lines but competing with and removing the competition! The thinking then was very much different than the thinking and activities of today. The connections and unifications of the various lines did not occur until after the NYCTA came into existence.
