Instead the (D) is running local on CPW so the (A) can go express. Insteresting it also says the (E) replaces the (C) between 59th St and Canal St. Is this just a typo? I'm sure it is. What is the reason for this big change starting this week?
actually i did see some E Trains at 59th street there were some pics on nycsubway.org. But wait im confused does that mean there are shuttles between union turnpike and jamaica center?
No, the pics on nycsubway.org were from a different GO, or perhaps an emergency reroute, a while ago. This has nothing to do with the current GO. The (E) runs as normal. There is a service gap between 50th St and 59th St-CC, though one can just make a simple cross-platform transfer at 7th Av from the (D) to get to 50th St, no big deal.
Of course, if I were the MTA, I would just run the (A) local all the way in Manhattan. Sure, the (D) takes care of CPW, but the CPW line never has enought local service. Also, 8th Av doesn't really need express service, because it only skips 3 stops.
