Pablo M 201 Posted August 28, 2008 Share #8 Posted August 28, 2008 No. Again, plain, flat out no, service wouldn't make sense. Now I'm guessing your next thread would be about express service on the Culver south of Church Avenue..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted August 28, 2008 Share #13 Posted August 28, 2008 If express service would have ever been justified, it would have been when Stillwell was being rebuilt, and the or was the only line running there, and all the people were basically funnelled that way if they didn;t want to ride a shuttle bus to the other lines (including those who may have preferred the or express). But it wasn't demanded, and apparently no need was seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted October 31, 2011 Share #18 Posted October 31, 2011 Again it was removed, because of low demand for express service on the West End Line. Jesus what is wrong with some of you people. It's like every unused track in the NYC Subway System has to be used, and that whatever subway line that was never completed should be completed. For Gods sake they were abandoned or given up for a reason, and I want people to stop asking to put express tracks at locations where there isn't one, because we are lucky to have subway service in NYC to begin with unlike Cincinatti, or Tampa.
