are there any plans for this? heres a picture from an out of service train on an r68

 

[Brighton Local 703]

No plans, the <> was supposed to actually be out in the late 80s I believe. Its service back then was supposed to be introduced as what it is today; the 'Broadway Extra'; Astoria to Whitehall Via local. Some signs weren't changed in 2001 when the began operating.

No, it was supposed to be out back than; hence the R-32 rollsigns, when overhauled came with a <> with the reading:

 

<> Astoria /

Broadway

Yup;) There are still a few <> signs lingering around on some R68s/R68A's, and all R32s.

it was originally intended to run rush-hours only

['89 Liberty MCI 2]

Actually the serves almost the same exact purpose as the old Broadway Local and the <W> would have served exactly the same purpose (if it was a peak direction route only). When the was Broadway Express before bridge work and ran to Continental, it also had the rush-hour Broadway Local which ran from Continental to Whitehall Street in the peak direction only. Meanwhile the does that but runs more. You still had the running with it simultaneously on rush hour.

[Pablo M 201 35]

The current serves the purpose as a <W> since its a weekday supplement to the .

['89 Liberty MCI 2]

But it runs at all times on the weekday, not on the rush only.

The sign has different shapes occasionally, but they all mean the same route and same service Astoria and Broadway Local.

They don't, only on rollsigns. They were only there because the provisional service was there and they were never changed back to save money.

Tired employees who only care if they find a W in there somewhere, whether it's a circle or a diamond all that matters is that it's a W..

It diesn't really matter anyways on any line except the and ... but correctness is appreciated, as you have those idiots out there who would think that the <> is express instead of just a regular
