   The southern terminus of the T will be Hanover Sq, not Whitehall St.   
      
   No MTA maps so far show a rerouting of the Q's southern end, but that is   
   possible, due to the SAS or otherwise.  OTOH, even if a one-seat ride to   
   downtown doesn't come until the final phase, the Q will connect to the   
   1234567BDFJLMNR, which adds several new two-seat options and hopefully   
   less crowding for several of the existing ones via the Lex.   
      
   This is the best map I've found that shows the full route/stations:

   This one shows the phasing, but not as much detail:

   There doesn't seem to be a need for the T route (and its new color)   
   until Phase 3 is in service, but you never know.
