7LineFan Posted July 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2008 anyone know off hand when the D stopped running on the brighton line and now runs on the line that it does? thanx stopped running on the Brighton line when its side of the Manhattan Bridge (the south side) was closed, and started running on the West End when the Manhattan Bridge was fully reopened. Not sure of the exact dates, but I'm estimating 2001 and 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Local Posted July 23, 2008 Share #15 Posted July 23, 2008 I thought the used the Sea Beach platform since the West End platform was still under construction until May 2005. The started terminating on the Sea Beach Platform on Sunday May 23, 2004, when the & returned to Stillwell. Thats when the West End Platform started to go under reconstruction; hence the terminated at 86 St Until May 28, 2005. Sunday May 29, 2005, the was extended back to Coney Island, and the Stillwell Av Terminal Reconstruction Project was finally completed.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
