Heres an item from Todays NY times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/nyregion/24shuttle.ht...h&emc=th&oref=slogin
about this line. This line was originally part of the BRT system and predated the subway extensions. In the BRT days, service was from downtown Brooklyn with connection over the Brooklyn Bridge to the Nrooklyn beaches along the long gone Fulton Street El and the present Brighton line . Near the Southern end of the Franklin Shuttle is the site of the famous Malbone street wreck . Today, the Q and the D lines run on the Brighton line from Coney Island to Manhattan amd the Bronx.

The "Q" and the "B" serve the Brighton Line. The "D" runs on the West End Line in Brooklyn.

The D and the B traded names a little while back The B used to be the west end and the d was the Brighton Its vice versa today

Does that mean it's no longer referred to as the "worst end" line?
