Park Place opening date[edit]

@Epicgenius: For a while, the opening date for Park Place was unknown, but was listed as c. 1900. Recently an IP added the date June 19, 1899 to the article. I don't know where that date came from. I searched for that date but couldn't find anything.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:03, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kew Gardens 613: I actually found this opening date on nycsubway.org, which is a self-published source. However, I can't find anything about the opening date, either. The nycsubway.org site says that Consumers Park and Fulton Street opened the same date. epicgenius (talk) 16:53, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Minor queries[edit]

Hi, I just made some minor edits (pls check) but couldn't clarify these two...

BB&B and B&BB - are these all Brooklyn and Brighton Beach Railroad?
"...and an escalators." - one or more?

Thanks, JennyOz (talk) 10:18, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The map[edit]

Am I the only one who can't tell the reds apart in the legend? Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 00:48, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this also. Removed platform should be coloured pink rather than red? Zin92 (talk) 05:19, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not exactly sure what the guidelines are for color-blind people—is even more contrast than that needed? Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 13:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The color used for a removed platform on the map (pink) is different to the color used for a removed platform in the legend (red). In the legend, red is used for both an active platform and a removed platform. I think that the legend needs correcting. Zin92 (talk) 05:28, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
