Why even bother with the E? Just say it’s not running and run extra F trains that run to Parsons/Archer (or not), even if some terminate at 2nd Avenue.
It would confuse riders and this is not the full weekend work.
Good thing that they are providing shuttle buses from Queensbridge to Court Sq. Better than taking the R local.
I’m surprised they just don’t run the E via the 63rd St. crossover down the Broadway line to Whitehall. That does a better job of covering the same area the E normally covers downtown, even if you lose the A/C transfer option at West Fourth.
Whitehall is not a good idea to handle many trains since the montauge tube is suffering problems. Switches @ whitehall is suffing problems too.
The MTA wants give riders close walking distance from 8th ave to 6th ave lines and the West 4th transfer is the key for E train riders who needs WTC stop so they can take the A/C from there. Also it would cause the Q to terminate somewhere else due to 57th st flyover
Coming to think of it, did they even announce WHEN the long-term shutdown of the R train tunnel will begin?
