The 9 service
The 1/9 skip-stop service was introduced in August 1989 to meet demands for more frequent service. At first, almost every station between 242nd Street in the Bronx and 137th Street in Manhattan was skipped. However, as time passed, the stations became more and more utilized and they were no longer skipped. This went on and on to the point where the skip-stop service saved little time (1 trains skipped only three stops while 9 trains skipped four). It was finally decided to discontinue it and on May 27, 2005, the last 9 train made its final trip.
At the end of the 9, skip-stop service assigned the following stations to the 1 only:

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, 5.
After the September 11th, 2001 attacks, 1 trains had to be rerouted since the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line ran directly under the World Trade Center. It ran only between 242 St in the Bronx and 14 St in Manhattan, running local between 242 and 96 Streets and express between 96 and 14 Streets. On September 19, after a few switching delays at 96 St, service was changed. 1 trains made all local stops from 242 St to New Lots Avenue via the IRT Brooklyn Branch and IRT Eastern Parkway Line, to replace 3 service, which terminated at 14 St. On September 15 2002, 1 trains returned to South Ferry and the 1/9 Skip-stop service was restored.
