While it seems that Zac is right, I don't feel like this is the best option. I think someone else posted this, I'd rather see this routing instead:

A: Express all night
B: Ends early
C: Express after closure starts
D: 205 to 2nd Avenue via CPW Local and CI to W4
E: Parsons-Archer to Whitehall via 63rd and Broadway
F: 179th to CI via 53rd and 8th Ave
M: Ends early
Spring & WTC closed (or run the A local to stop at Spring, I'm not looking at a track map at the moment to see how feasible this is, but at late night headways, I don't see why the D and A can't share the local track)

The reason I prefer this routing, even though it takes the E off its regular route on 8th Avenue, is it gives both 53rd Street and 63rd Street through service, and gives the stations along Broadway a direct train to Queens, since those stations are closer to 6th Avenue for the most part than the 8th Avenue stations.
