I agree with you.- For decades #6 trains have alternated terminals between Parkchester and Pelham Bay Park. - For decades A-trains have alternated terminals between Lefferts Blvd, Far Rockaway and Rockaway Park. - For decades F-trains have alternated terminals between Kings Highway and Coney Island. - Ever since the Archer Avenue segment opened in the 1980's - E-trains have had a number of rush hour E-trains that originated or ended their runs at 179th Street, as noted on several subway maps. - For the past decade or so B-trains have alternated terminals between 145th Street and Bedford Park Blvd. During the late pm rush hours some D-trains end their runs at Bedford Park Blvd. - For decades the #5 train has alternated terminals in the Bronx between 238th Street and Dyre Avenue, and in Brooklyn between Brooklyn College and Utica Avenue. Prior to that #4 trains alternated terminals between Brooklyn College and Utica Avenue. At times both #2 and #5 trains ended their runs at East 180th Street. - In the 1970's and 1980's RR trains alternated terminals between Chambers Street and Astoria, something which Wallyhorse wanted to revive. - In the 1970's and 1980's #1 trains alternated terminals between 137th Street-City College and Van Cortlandt Park. Plus a number of #2-trains, #4 and #5 trains originate or terminate at New Lots Avenue in Brooklyn due to the train yard access. SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD THE N-TRAINS TO/FROM 96TH STREET/2ND AVENUE BE TREATED ANY DIFFERENTLY? Big frigging deal that some N-trains from Brooklyn ended at 57th Street last month, and will now go to 96th Street/2nd Avenue. Just label the trains properly as N-trains and be done with it. Why the effort to disguise these trains as "Q-trains" while they travel through Brooklyn on the N-train line. That is just dis-honest. The idea that this is being done to "reduce rider confusion" is just silliness - and all for 4 stations! It suggests that somehow "Upper Eastside riders" are kittens that need to be treated with fuzzy gloves unable to properly read train signage. That "confusing" riders in Brooklyn about the nature of those trains is preferable to "confusing Upper Eastside riders." Really? Upper Eastside riders are not God's gift to the universe. Or is it that riders in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and in other parts of the city can better deal with traveling by subway, and in reading train signage, and in listening to directions? Mike |
