They actually did consider deinterlining CPW in 1991, as part of major budget cuts, as City Hall had threatened to cut its share of funding to the MTA. The plan was to run the as the full time CPW local, the express only on CPW and local full time on Concourse, and the express weekdays only to/from 207th, with the local extended back to 207 to replace the during overnights and weekends. But then the folks in Washington Heights complained over losing their express, specially with the letter it’s always had (the ), and that plan went nowhere. @Union Tpke and @Lance posted some pretty good materials on here in the past about that. It also gives a good explanation for why there was an orange A bullet on the R110B front roll signs. Where was the and in all of this? Did Fulton St have only Local service? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time the had three northern terminals - 168th/Broadway on weekdays, 21st/Queensbridge evenings and weekends, and 36th/4th late nights. Stillwell Avenue/Coney Island was the southern terminal at all times. The 1991 plan would have had the running between Queensbridge and Coney at all times except during late nights, which would have remained the same. The would have been eliminated and replaced by a local in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. The would have been the 8th Avenue Express, but it would have terminated at 34th St, so the 8th Avenue express tracks would have been unused from there to Columbus Circle. The would have run express in Brooklyn to/from Lefferts and Rockaway, much like today’s . Here’s a map made by Lance from an old thread: https://www.nyctransitforums.com/topic/45889-1991-proposed-service-reductions-map/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
