No Problem..

A couple other things:

The ( was on the West End.

Normally the would go to 168 Street during middays. Since the did not go to Manhattan, the took its place between 145 and 168 Streets middays and weekends.

The was going local on 4th Avenue middays since the terminated at Pacific Street.

True. In fact, I was going to add in the & service, but I figured he only wanted to view the (Q6) service. Thanks for the extra information though.

I don't remember the going to 21 street. I only remember the (Q6) going there.

[Brighton Local 703]

It went.
