    Aren't the flipdot units stripped already, rendering this question moot?

    Just saw one on 6164 on the M15 as well. I imagine that the XD40s and LFS hybrids will get them as well as Orion’s continue to be phased out.

    That mockup doesn't actually have door pockets so I wouldn't be surprised if they originally wanted to make the windows that large and then as they made the blueprints for the actual cars, realized they screwed up the calculations.

    But they were running trains on the local... I happened to get one at Spring, and then later got another one at 23rd! I think the issue is that crews are calling out so they don't have enough manpower to run the full schedule.

    Note that the flooding occurred in areas of the system that weren't updated after Sandy. The resiliency projects worked.

    I would argue that an option on the newest coach bus order specifically for the takeover of these routes should be considered interest enough. This "disagreement" between the MTA and EDC, as I understand it, is mostly about the fine print in the changeover process than anything else.

    “8704” is a mistracking 4862. Just seen it on the B64.

    While improbable, it is not impossible that the bus actually could have gone from Yukon to Ulmer Park via the Belt and then entered B6 service... RTSes have done the reverse from UP to Yukon as recently as 2014/15 IINM. We’ll have to see what route it shows up on in the morning. If it is actually there, I’d love to see it on the B64.

    I could see the B23 coming back as the 13th/14th Avenues bus with the B16 staying on Fort Hamilton Parkway the full length. Would be nice if it went all the way down to the VA Hospital or even Bay Ridge.

    It's right next to the St. George bound platform at Clifton station, if you want to see it yourself in person
  13. Around the Horn
    That is correct

    They are training the crews that will operate the tests.

    There are more designated priority seats and more room for people in wheelchairs to move around compared to previous cars.

    Can I get two Hanovers please? B65 DOWNTOWN BKLYN FULTON MALL and B38 DOWNTOWN BKLYN TILLARY ST
  19. Around the Horn
    No the other set made the move tonight.

    The R211 reportedly has a propulsion problem and that was why it was moved.
  21. Around the Horn
    Those are perfect, thanks!

    Two requests for today: Hanover M9 Battery Park City via Avenue C via East Broadway Titan 64 Wister/Upsal 23rd-Venango
  23. Around the Horn
    They look good! For the last one though, I had meant that 30th St Station was a second reading after University City, but that’s on me for writing flip and not explaining what I meant. My bad!
  24. Around the Horn

    SEPTA's D40LFs and DE40LFs being a case in point... I have never been on an MTA bus that accelerates as fast in Manhattan as those do in Center City Philly (and of course in the rest of the area)
