"The B makes all local stops on weekdays, from Grand to 145."Sorry, but NO! For a very long time and currently B-trains originating out of 145th Street, 168th Street, or Bedford Park Blvd. operate express on Sixth Avenue - meaning they skip 14th Street and 23rd Street. For a very long time and considering pass route arrangements - B-trains operating out of 57th Street-Sixth Avenue, or the Queensbridge terminal - were often the Sixth Avenue local service - meaning they stopped at 14th Street and 23rd Street on Sixth Avenue. The older subway maps that showed the rush hour service of the B-train as well as the regular service made it a point to show the differences between these two B-train operations. Plus in the 1970's and 1980's the signage above the platforms on the Sixth Avenue line were very, very clear on this point! In addition once the V-train, and later the M-train came into existence on the Sixth Avenue line - B-trains like D-trains always skipped 14th Street and 23rd Street on Sixth Avenue line. It is very easy to check the subway maps from the mid-1960's to the present which supports the points made above. Mike |
