[edit] First in 33 Years

Just an observation: the Times (referring, I suppose to Dean Street) headlined "A Subway Station is Shuttered, the First in 33 Years." I suppose the earlier reference is to Worth Street. Maybe we should mention that, since it raises a question the article doesn't answer.

Anyway, the headline is wrong: I imagine they covered themselves by referring to closing a station on an existing line without closing the line, but it creates a false impression. I'm thinking of all the stations on the lower Myrtle and 3rd Avenue-Bronx, which were quite "shuttered." -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 16:27, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it specifically mentions Worth Street. The ones you mention were old-style els, but the Culver Line also had subway service and was closed in 1975. I've added a note to the reference. --SPUI (talk) 16:52, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shuttle page names idea

To keep consistant, I propose that the S name (New York City Subway service) pages be renamed DIV Line Name (New York City Subway) --Jason McHuff 06:28, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
