The T Second Avenue Local[1] is a prospective rapid transit service in the B Division of the New York City Subway. Its proposed route bullet will be turquoise, a currently unused color, since it will run over planned Second Avenue Line in Manhattan.
The Second Avenue Subway is under construction, with the first phase, running from 63rd to 96th Streets, planned for completion in December 2016.[2] The T designation will not be used until the third phase opens from Houston to 63rd Streets.[2] The third phase is not funded or scheduled.[3]
History
T 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,[4] when it was replaced by the B train via Sixth Avenue in Manhattan. With the closing of the Manhattan Bridge's north side in 2001, the B in Brooklyn was replaced by the W via Broadway. In 2004, the Manhattan Bridge reopened for subway service and the W was replaced by the D via Sixth Avenue.[5] T currently appears on R32 rollsigns as a black letter on a white circle.
Planned station listing
As planned, the T will operate at all times between 125th Street in East Harlem and Hanover Square in the Financial District. It would be the only New York City Subway service that is not a shuttle to run only within one borough, though the planned expansion will include provisions to for further extension into the Bronx and Brooklyn at its northern and southern ends, respectively.
