Though not on the MTA website yet, the Second Avenue Subway line has been added to the subway map contained with the May 2016 MTA Board Action Items document released on Wednesday. The line is expected to open in December this year and there would be a few changes as a result, including a resurrection of the W line. Currently, the Q goes from Astoria-Ditmars Blvd to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue.
But as a result of the new line, the Q will be rerouted to run from the new 96th Street stop to Coney Island-Stillwell, using existing but currently non-passenger tracks under Central Park that connect to the Broadway express tracks. The W train, which was removed from service in 2010, will return to service Whitehall Street to Astoria-Ditmas Blvd on weekdays only.
