Brighton Local Posted July 8, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 8, 2008 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.

Jamaica Express Posted July 8, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 8, 2008 it was originally intended to run rush-hours only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'89 Liberty MCI Posted July 8, 2008 Share #8 Posted July 8, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
