It was a year ago that Marty Markowitz held a mock funeral for the M train, and recently there was talk of the MTA having something up its sleeve involving the M and V lines. amNewYork now reports on the doomsday cut makeovers, noting that MTA officials are considering the V replacing the M line where it runs through north Brooklyn to Middle Village. 2nd Ave Sagas notes that the agency "may adjust the route of the V train to subsume the current M route out to Metropolitan Ave. This new route could alleviate some pressure on the L line and provide an indirect one-seat ride from parts of Brooklyn and Queens."
