Re: Vanshnookenraggen: IND Second System Track Map

Actually quite a few ran simultaneously. The A and AA ran together for years as did the C and CC. A repurposed EE ran with the E immediately post Chrystie and The Q and QT and QB ran together on the Brighton Line. QT was Brighton Lcl via tunnel which operated when the Brighton Exp operated and the QB was the Brighton Lcl via bridge when the Express did not operate. T and TT as West End Exp and Lcl also operated at the same time. The original concept was that a train that ran express anywhere on its route was designated an express and given a single letter while a pre local, which had absolutely no express running would be designated as a local and be given a double letter. The logic started to crumble with Chrystie St when the TA assigned letters from 2 merged lines to a single line like QJ and RJ which used the double letters whether the train operated local or express on their routes and a repurposed QB which ran express on Bway even though it was signed as a “local via Bridge.”
