T is a service designation of the New York City Subway. It is not currently in use, but was previously used for a service on the BMT West End Line, originally BMT 3. It was discontinued in 1967, but a shuttle, designated TT, continued into 1968.[1] This shuttle was replaced by the B, which in 2001 became the W. Since Sixth Avenue Express service was suspended, Broadway service replaced it. The W ran to Coney Island, and in 2004, was replaced by the D.[2]
T is also the proposed future designation of service on the planned Second Avenue Subway line. T trains would make stops along Second Avenue from 125th Street in Harlem, Manhattan to Hanover Square in the Financial District, Manhattan.[3] This would be a fully local route. This route might also be expanded to the Bronx and Brooklyn. See Second Avenue Line for more details.[4]
T currently appears on rollsigns as a black letter on a white circle, mostly on R32, and R38 rollsigns; see Unused New York City Subway service labels for more information.
