Posted by Michael549 on Mon Jan 30 11:43:59 2017, in response to Re: N to 96/2, posted by Spider-Pig on Sun Jan 29 22:37:22 2017. "The number of stops past the split is irrelevant. It is the fact that the split between the N and Q is in the CBD and not some distance past it."In previous messages it was already discussed how B-trains during the rush hours served TWO TERMINALS in Manhattan with the "split" occurring IN MIDTOWN. Starting on August 30, 1976 to April 13, 1986 the B-train served BOTH the 57th Street-Sixth Avenue terminal (as the sole route going there), AND the 168th Street-Washington Heights terminal making local stops with the CC local on Central Park West. The MTA did not do any "re-labeling" of B-trains for their trips uptown or downtown - for over a 10-year period! The riders simply learned which B-train to take for their destination. The current Second Avenue segment has only been open a month, there's a re-labeling scheme in place. Weird! Mike |
