The skip-stop along the 1/9 will end in May, meaning that the No. 9 train is headed for that trainyard in the sky...or Queens, as it were (well, it's not really a trainyard...the MTA will get rid of the signs and make new maps). In May, all the stops in upper Manhattan and the Bronx will get No. 1 trains all the time, making some people happy and others, who liked the "local yet express" nature of the 9, will have more time to read. The MTA stresses that the same number of trains will be running, and the seven skip-stop stations "will see more service." It's not a huge change, but Gothamist will miss the number skipping when we'd call the West Side IRT trains the 1/2/3/9.

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
take care #9
hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess this frees up the #9 for Second Ave.
At the risk of outing myself as a subway nerd, 9 will not be used on the 2nd Ave subway.
Number routes are only used for IRT lines (7th Ave, Lex Ave and Flushing lines, the ones with smaller trains). All other lines (IND and BMT) use letters.
Since the 2nd Ave will use the bigger IND/BMT trains and most likely connect with the Broadway line (Q is expected to be extended uptown via the 63rd St connector), any new 2nd Ave train will get a letter (I'm thinking H or K).

"T" has been selected as the 2nd Avenue subway designator.
The 2nd Avenue subway will, however, never be built; neither will the Moynihan Penn Station, Jets Stadium, Nets Stadium or any of those big ticket projects, due to a lack of money and considerable neighborhood opposition for the stadiums (-a.)
