The '''2 Seventh Avenue Express'''<ref name="timetable">{{NYCS const|timetable|2}}</ref> is a [[rapid transit]] service in the [[A Division (New York City Subway)|A Division]] of the [[New York City Subway]]. Its route emblem, or "bullet", is colored {{NYCS const|color|red}} since it uses the [[IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line]] through most of [[Manhattan]].

The 2 operates at all times between [[Wakefield–241st Street station|241st Street]] in [[Wakefield, Bronx]] and [[Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College station|Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College]] in [[Flatbush, Brooklyn]]; limited rush hour service originates and terminates at [[New Lots Avenue station (IRT New Lots Line)|New Lots Avenue]] in [[East New York, Brooklyn]] instead of [[Flatbush Avenue]]. Daytime service makes express stops in [[Manhattan]] and all stops elsewhere; late night service makes all stops.

Historically, 2 trains have also run to [[Crown Heights–Utica Avenue station|Crown Heights–Utica Avenue]] or [[New Lots Avenue station (IRT New Lots Line)|New Lots Avenue]]. They ran exclusively on the [[IRT New Lots Line]] until 1983, when the 2 was routed to [[Flatbush Avenue]]. This is still the case with some rush-hour trains, although they now run to New Lots Avenue only.

=== Early history ===
The first section of what became the current 2 entered service on November 26, 1904, from the temporary 180th Street–Bronx Park terminal via the [[West Farms, Bronx|West Farms]] El to 149th Street–3rd Avenue. On July 10, 1905, the connection between the [[IRT Lenox Avenue Line]] and [[IRT White Plains Road Line]] (which was previously served by the [[Third Avenue El]]) opened, allowing subway service from Manhattan to the Bronx.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/11/27/101350060.pdf|title=Discuss Subway Signs in 18th St. Station – Engineer Parsons and Mr. Hedley Inspect Advertising Scheme – Bronx Viaduct Works Well – Delays There Only Those of Newness – Lenox Avenue Service Makes Fuss Below Ninety-sixth Street|work=New York Times|date=November 27, 1904|access-date=September 4, 2016}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/tracksofnewyork03kahn|title=Tracks of New York /|last=Kahn|first=Alan Paul|date=January 1, 1973|location=New York |publisher=Electric Railroaders' Association}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1905/07/10/101363643.pdf|title=Subway Trains Running from Bronx to Battery – West Farms and South Ferry Stations Open at Midnight – Start Without a Hitch – Bowling Green Station Also Opened – Lenox Avenue Locals Take City Hall Loop Hereafter|work=New York Times|date=July 10, 1905|access-date=September 4, 2016}}</ref>

On January 9, 1908, the [[Joralemon Street Tunnel]] opened, connecting the current [[IRT Lexington Avenue Line]] to Brooklyn.

Beginning on December 19, 1919, trains ran to South Ferry with some rush hour trains to Atlantic Avenue.<ref name="erictb.info"/> In 1923, during rush hours, 2 trains alternated between South Ferry and Utica Avenue.<ref name="erictb.info"/> Beginning December 1, 1924, 2 trains that had ended at South Ferry were extended to New Lots Avenue.<ref name="erictb.info"/>

On January 16, 1928, the New York State Transit Commission announced that it had reached an agreement with the IRT to increase service on its lines by 8,000,000 car miles a year–the greatest increase since 1922. As part of the changes, on January 30, all West Farms trains were extended from Atlantic Avenue to Flatbush Avenue during middays.<ref>{{Cite news|last=|first=|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/46212969/the-brooklyn-citizen/|title=IRT Adds More Cars And Extends Lines: Delays at Atlantic Ave. Reduced—South Ferry Trains to Run to Brooklyn|date=January 16, 1928|work=The Brooklyn Citizen|access-date=March 6, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>

As of 1934, 2 trains ran from 180th Street-Bronx Park to Flatbush Avenue weekdays and Saturday during daytime and to South Ferry evenings and Sundays, express in Manhattan. Late-night service was from 241st St to South Ferry, making all stops.  There were occasional lay-up/put-ins from New Lots. Four weekday evening trains turned at Atlantic.<ref name="erictb.info"/> On September 5, 1937, some evening rush hour trains started running to Flatbush Avenue.<ref name="erictb.info"/>

As of July 1, 1938, weekday and Saturday evening service was extended to Flatbush Avenue from South Ferry.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=|first=|date=September 2010|title=IRT Brooklyn Line Opened 90 Years Ago|url=https://issuu.com/erausa/docs/the_era_bulletin_2010-09|journal=New York Division Bulletin|publisher=New York Division, Electric Railroaders' Association|volume=53|issue=9|doi=|pmid=|access-date=August 31, 2016|via=Issu}}</ref>

Sunday service was extended to Flatbush Avenue on March 5, 1950.

Beginning on December 26, 1950, alternate weekday rush trains were extended to 241st Street in the peak direction, but PM rush service to 241st Street was discontinued on June 26, 1952. Beginning on August 4, 1952, the 180th Street—Bronx Park station was closed, with trains rerouted to East 180th Street.

=== Under the New York City Transit Authority ===
Morning rush hour service to 241st Street was cut back to Gun Hill Road on October 2, 1953. On March 19, 1954, weekend service was rerouted to New Lots Avenue at all times except late nights. On May 4, 1957, a track connection to the [[IRT Dyre Avenue Line]] was completed and daytime 2 trains were rerouted to Dyre Avenue.<ref name="erictb.info" /> Evening service remained a shuttle between Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street, and morning rush service from Gun Hill Road was discontinued.

On December 20, 1957, weekday trains were rerouted to New Lots Avenue at all times except late nights. On June 26, 1958, late night service began between Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street. Beginning on December 12, 1958, late night service was extended to Flatbush Avenue, and the 2 began running express at all times. Beginning February 6, 1959, trains ran between Wakefield–241st Street and Flatbush Avenue at all times except late nights, when they ran between East 180th Street and New Lots Avenue.<ref name="erictb.info" />

Beginning on April 8, 1960, daytime service was rerouted from Dyre Avenue to 241st Street, and service in Brooklyn was rerouted from New Lots Avenue to Flatbush Avenue. At the same time, late night service was rerouted from Flatbush Avenue to New Lots Avenue.

Beginning on April 18, 1965, evening service was extended from East 180th Street to 241st Street, and daytime service was rerouted from Flatbush Avenue to New Lots Avenue.

On July 10, 1983, the 2 and {{NYCS|3}} trains swapped terminal in Brooklyn, with 2 trains terminating at Flatbush Avenue and 3 trains terminating at New Lots Avenue. These changes were made to reduce non-revenue subway car mileage, to provide a dedicated fleet for each service, and to provide an easily accessible inspection yard for each service. The change allowed the 2 to be dedicated to [[239th Street Yard]] and allowed the 3 to be assigned to [[Livonia Yard]]. With the rerouting of 3 trains, train lengths along the New Lots Line were reduced from 10 cars to 9 cars, within acceptable crowding levels, and train lengths along the Nostrand Avenue Line were increased from 9 to 10 cars, reducing crowding.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=|first=|date=July 1983|title=New IRT Schedules - Increased Service to Flatbush Avenue|url=|journal=New York Division Bulletin|volume=|pages=|via=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://fultonhistory.com/highlighter/highlight-for-xml?altUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FNewspaper%252024%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Amsterdam%2520News%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Amsterdam%2520News%25201983%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Amsterdam%2520News%25201983%252000253_1.pdf%23xml%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FdtSearch%2Fdtisapi6.dll%3Fcmd%3Dgetpdfhits%26u%3Dffffffffa28002b6%26DocId%3D6932839%26Index%3DZ%253a%255cDISK%2520X%26HitCount%3D11%26hits%3D5fa%2B5fb%2B5fc%2B5fd%2B5fe%2B5ff%2B600%2B601%2B602%2B603%2B604%2B%26SearchForm%3D%252fFulton%255fform%252ehtml%26.pdf&uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FNewspaper%252024%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Amsterdam%2520News%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Amsterdam%2520News%25201983%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Amsterdam%2520News%25201983%252000253_1.pdf&xml=https%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FdtSearch%2Fdtisapi6.dll%3Fcmd%3Dgetpdfhits%26u%3Dffffffffa28002b6%26DocId%3D6932839%26Index%3DZ%253a%255cDISK%2520X%26HitCount%3D11%26hits%3D5fa%2B5fb%2B5fc%2B5fd%2B5fe%2B5ff%2B600%2B601%2B602%2B603%2B604%2B%26SearchForm%3D%252fFulton%255fform%252ehtml%26.pdf&openFirstHlPage=false|title=Notice of Public Hearing|last=|first=|date=February 26, 1983|work=New York Amsterdam News|access-date=January 13, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>

In Spring 1995, rush hour 5 service to 241st Street was cut back to [[Nereid Avenue station|Nereid Avenue]]. 241st Street had insufficient capacity to terminate all 2 and 5 trains during rush hours, requiring some 2 and 5 trips to terminate at Nereid Avenue. To ease passenger confusion regarding which trips terminate where and to provide more reliable service, it was decided to have all 2 trips terminate at 241st Street and have all 5 trains terminate at 238th Street. This recommendation was made in response to comments made as part of the Northeast Bronx Comprehensive Study.<ref>* {{Cite book|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/45967066674/in/dateposted-public/|title=NYC Transit Committee Agenda September 1994|date=September 10, 1994|publisher=New York City Transit|pages=D.65}}

On December 9, 1999, New York City Transit released a proposal, revising 2 and 5 service in the Bronx to eliminate a merge north of the East 180th Street station, increasing capacity and reducing delays, to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board. Dyre Avenue-bound 5 trains would start running local along the White Plains Road Line, while 2 trains would run express. Nereid Avenue-bound 5 trains would continue to run express in the Bronx. As part of the change, the frequency of service at White Plains Road Line local station would decrease from 12 trains per hour to 7 trains per hour. Market research showed that riders at these stations preferred Lexington Avenue Line service. In addition, riders on the line north of East 180th Street would gain express service. This change would have been revenue neutral.<ref name="1999Swap">* {{cite book|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/48536398552/in/photostream/|title=December 1999 NYC Transit Committee Agenda|date=December 9, 1999|website=Flickr|publisher=New York City Transit|page=129|accessdate=March 15, 2020}}

Shortly after the proposal was more widely announced in April 2000, Assemblyman [[Jeffrey D.

The change was also opposed by State Senator [[Eric Schneiderman]], Assemblyman [[Scott Stringer]] and Public Advocate [[Mark J. Green|Mark Green]].

After [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001]], 2 trains ran local in Manhattan at all times so they would not be delayed behind {{NYCS|3}} trains terminating at [[14th Street station (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line)|14th Street]].
