The S variant all depends on when the R211S goes in service first which they said Spring 2024. As for the Other "A" variants. Should resume soon depending on the current state with the gearbox issues.

They will be delivered once NYCT LFS’ get finished first

Because CBTC is a highly advanced system used for trains to run closer together and needs to consistently be tested in order for them to work safely for when it is active on a line/s, we won’t have a incident when God Forbid two trains collide because of a faulty computer system. Plus the process is long as some branches have to shut down entirely for certain weekends to not only replace old 50 year old signals, but to do cables and all that technological stuff which takes a while and cost money. Plus you add delays while testing trains along that corridor. I wished the MTA would do ATC systems like most other transit system uses like CTA, WMATA, BART and etc but it’s too late now.

The R211T got unveiled today as the first 5cars are getting ready to be towed sometime this week

Yes they’ll be there until the other cars come in and then unveil them and then they’ll get towed to CIY (pretty much like the R211A)

And I Believe (correct me if I’m wrong) the R211S will be here mid 2023 right?

The MTA and the Port Authority Going back and forth for years to finalize a contract to rebuild it plus construction delays due to The MTA having to rebuild right under WTC and there were complications

9835 En Route to NYC *was spotted on the I-87 near Albany heading south* this morning

U do realize there’s a “R211 discussion” thread for a reason brother man

Bx3 unreliable?? That route is packed to the brim Literally the first stop in Washington Heights

5512 MJQ loaned to Tuskegee *Currently on the M102, M103*

6083 CS just Wrapped in LCL scheme

Beeline Could’ve done better with the 62 instead of Cutting it to New Rochelle from Fordham. It just makes it useless atp. It would’ve been better if they ran it Down Boston Post Rd/Boston Rd express instead of letting it stop at all stops south of New Rochelle with the 60/61. It would really help riders get to Fordham quicker and be able to transfer to Subway and the MNRR at Pelham Pkwy and Fordham Station (on MNRR)

beeline has currently 398-399, 411-414, 418, 425, 428, 430, and 434 in service/on beeline property

The bus random thoughts thread exists for a reason dude

8888 Enroute To CS Spotted on the Whitestone Bridge (Queens bound)

Those are temp platforms to provide better connections until the stairwells on the far end of the platforms are done

I believe it’s Maintenance with some of their current fleet of buses plus driver training with the new Novas coming in which can lead to them being short to send fleet out for service duty So they do some loans

Good you brought that up actually I was wondering why those doors were still closed while the indicator lights are bright red in stations. I wonder if they’ll open them as time goes on

Definitely not. I recently took the BXM4 heading up to Woodlawn and it took 30min to go from 149 to MT Eden With the heavy construction they’re doing along concourse
