Posted by randyo on Mon May 25 17:53:42 2020, in response to Re: Questions about the history of M service (Calling SLRT, Elkeeper, Eric B), posted by Union Tpke on Mon May 25 11:23:18 2020. As for the M being inappropriately use for the Nassau StBankers’ Specials, the cesspool of incompetence that passes for NYCTA planning never though about the variations in Southern Div service that used both Nassau St and Bway service and with a Manhattan centric mentality insisted on linking most of the Southern Div branch line name with the line they used MOST of the time which was Bway. Since all Eastern Div lines except for the Myrtle el and 14 St used the misnamed Nassau St Line (which was more under Centre St) the Manhattan centrists instead on referring to all the services as “Nassau St” services. When more R types started to be used on the rush hour only Bankers’ Specials, the TA had no proper signs to display on them so in typical knee jerk reaction opted to misapply the letter “M” to both the Brighton an4th Av Bankers’ Special services. |
