From a previous message:"May very well be true. I wouldn't be surprised if it is. But did West End riders think that way when the W replaced the B in July 2001?" For a good period of time, the B train when traveling on the Broadway line during part of the repair period for the Manhattan Bridge, the B train ran to Astoria. The W train also ran to Astoria, and both lines ran on the West End route to Coney Island. At same time - there was also a "B" train that traveled along the Sixth AVenue line to 34th Street, until the Manhattan Bridge was repaired. The W train traveling along the West End line ran 24/7 which was a needed improvement, the D train that replaced it continued the 24/7 pattern. The current incornation of the W train also supplements service to/from Astoria. Mike |
