1-9 (New York City Subway service)
- For the former services, see BMT 1 and BMT 9 .
The 1 Broadway-Seventh Avenue Local and 9 Broadway-Seventh Avenue Local are two services of the New York City Subway. They are colored red since they use the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line; their routes are equivalent to said line. For more information on the line, including history, see that article.
Trains of the service run 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. During rush hours, service runs along the same route, providing skip-stop service with the 1 through upper Manhattan. At other times, 1 trains stop at every station along the route.
New York City Transit has announced its intention to discontinue the 9 designation, with trains last running Friday, May 27, 2005.[1] The justification given was that the 1 and 9 lines serve the same route, and that the skip-stop service in Upper Manhattan leads to service delays along the entire Seventh Avenue Line. Once the 9 is discontinued, the 1 will make all local stops along its route at all times.

Service history
| ||||||
| ||||
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. The Dyre Avenue Shuttle still runs during late night hours daily, but now carries the same number as the through service on the line, .
After the September 11th, 2001 attacks, 1 trains ran to [[New Lots Avenue (IRT Eastern Parkway Line|]] via the IRT Brooklyn Branch and IRT Eastern Parkway Line, as the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line ran directly under the World Trade Center south of the Brooklyn Branch. Service was restored by May 2002.
