2001 - 04 Manhattan Bridge Service Changes

[Harry]

I got a chance to scan the July 22, 2001 - 2004 Manhattan Bridge Closure Brochure. This was an interesting change in Manhattan Bridge subway service at the time. Enjoy!

I had that brochure in the past, don't know if I still have it...

 

The ones not highlighted meant nothing was changed right? In this case, the F, N and R trains?

I didn't know that the was express in Queens during rush hours....they should have it run express now as well

I remember that brochure. That was so long ago that the 63 Street connector did not open yet and there was no train.

I believe it started around September 2001, and it ultimately ended around January 2002 because it was "unpopular with the residents".

Of course, the majority of the riders were on the stops skipped by the W. The Astoria line is too short to have a use for the express track and while it was nice having the W be a 3 borough express, it was not good at the expense of the Astoria local riders.

Thanks Harry for the nice scans! I might be in the minority here but I think the ( and are good. The gives West End riders 24-7 service without having to transfer at 36th Street late nights and the ( fits the Brighton Express allowing the to be the local 24-7. Now the Brighton, West End and Sea Beach each have 24-7 service by one train. Plus Brighton has an express that runs 6am-11pm and West End has a supplemental Rush Hour train.
