The loop will remain intact, to be used by #5's terminating at B.G. to
go around. The new station will be accessible only to west side IRT
trains. The days of east side IRT service to Bowling Green are long over
and will never return.

Related question?

I have not been there since the station was renovated.

It it still the same platform, or was that extended?

Was there a change in the track arrangement coming into the station?

Thanks.
