  1. Supposedly next week, but I wouldn't hold my breath since the (MTA) changed the R188 passenger debut various times.

     

     

    Also I got the word from a friend of mine as soon as the R188s hit the (7) line sometime next week flushing is loosing another set of R62As to the (6)

     

     

    its the week and still no r188. when will it hit the  (7) ?

  2. (7) Train exclusive.

     

    Yep!

     

    Will the R188 be used on other IRT lines like the (1) train?

    Nope. Its a  (7) line exclusive like Kingsbridgeview382 mentioned. The other IRT Lines (rarely  (1) / (2)  (4) /  (5) /  (6)) already use the R142A car sets or idk if in the future, the   (MTA) decide to use the R188 on the Other IRT lines, doubt it.

  3. There was a R142 on the (5) @ Dyre Avenue that had the (7) announcements hardwired into the intercom system, caught on video apparently in 2001, I think according to some of the comments on the video. But some of the announcements and LED messages will be different from back then. It's anyone's guess how it will actually sound on the R188's but it could be similar to how it plays in this video.

    Yep I saw that video long ago already and it was an R142, as you can see of the blinking led annoncements and not very visible Bombaider Plate at the corner. Did Railfan2 ask an  (MTA) employee or conductor to play the announcements just to see?
