 New York City Subway N service to be restored to Coney Island May 29, via the Sea Beach Line - Wikinews
N service currently stops one station short of Coney Island, at Gravesend-86th Street, and last reached Coney Island under regular service on November 4, 2001, though various General Orders caused by other closures have resulted in N trains running all the way.
The Sea Beach Line was the fastest of the four lines connecting Coney Island to Manhattan, especially when the express tracks of the Sea Beach Line (last used in 1968) were in use, as there were no express stations between the split from the BMT Fourth Avenue Line and Coney Island.
The N was both the first service to be cut back from Coney Island and the last to return, and was the only one not replaced by a shuttle bus during its closure.

New York City's Subway system can be mystifying at times, especially when it seems like certain trains like to suddenly stop running, go a different route or just start skipping stops for no apparent reason.

 1 (New York City Subway service) - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
The 1 Broadway-Seventh Avenue Local is a service of the New York City Subway.
The justification given for removing the 9 was that the 1 and 9 lines served the same route, and that the skip-stop service in Upper Manhattan led to service delays along the entire Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line.
The 9 designation was originally used for the Dyre Avenue Line until it was converted to through service in 1957, though the equipment on the line did not bear numbers; it may have been used for the Dyre Avenue Shuttle, which ran nights and other times when through service did not run, after 1957.
