History

Until around 2004, the station was listed as Winchester Street to avoid confusion with Summit Avenue stop on the B branch.[2] The B branch stop was closed as part of a pilot program in April 2004 (after which the C branch stop became Summit Avenue) and permanently closed the following March.[3][4][5]
