So, they are labeled M trains.But it no longer seems to be policy to label trains according to what they are seen as operationally, given the "Q via Sea Beach." The least confusion to passengers in this case would result from having some J trains being short-turned and M service suspended. Then basically all the announcements have to say are: "No M service" and the worst that can happen is that someone has to get off a short-turned J and just wait for the next one. Instead, by calling them Ms, they have to explain that M trains are not going where they ordinarily go and people who miss that will be inclined to go the wrong way. While things will be different on weekdays when this type of thing is happening, for weekends without a Myrtle Ave branch there is no need to designate any train "M." |
