When was the exact date that the double letters got eliminated?

The double letters for the shuttles (SS) was eliminated in June 1979 when the new subway map was printed.

The remaining double letter routes (AA,CC,GG,QB and RR) were changed to single letter by General Order on May 6,1986. Since it was not possible to change all the rollsigns overnight trains with single letters were running before and train with double letters were running after this date.

The following double letter routes have operated at one time or another on the system;AA,BB,CC,DD,EE,GG,HH,JJ,KK,LL,MJ,NX,QB,QJ,QT,RJ,RR,SS,TT.Did I leave any out?
