Rush hours Concourse express: D to Hudson Terminal via 6th, C to Hoyt via 8th. Non-rush hours, D is local in Bronx and express in Manhattan north of 59th Street, then local on 6th Ave to Hudson Terminal. CC rush hours only between Bedford Park and Hudson Terminal. Both Queens expres services run all the time. E turns back at Broadway-Lafayette on Houston rather than continuing to Church Avenue. F runs between Parsons Blvd and Church Avenue via 6th and Houston. F is express all the way in Queens, not sure about E. On Saturdays Concourse express runs southbound until noon and northbound after, as both C and D. Washington Heights local also has special Saturday schedule. [NYT 12-5-1940]
