I do too. I remember Byford said even with the Canarsie shutdown up in the air he still wanted to see service improvements like full-length G trains happen regardless.

Huh, I had no idea. That's gonna be real nice. So will the 179s move back to ENY to move R160s to CI, or will they go to CI for the G?

If I can offer my guess, it'd be that LTA was referring to how Ferrer and the pro-Cuomo-L-plan brass pretty much danced around every question from the skeptical board members (like Polly Trottenberg, who went hard grilling Ferrer), and offered little to no answers to the questions they were asked. Despite this clear lack of concrete info and plans regarding the new Canarsie plans, they (Ferrer and co.) still were putting their support behind the new plan as if, to quote one of the board members asking about any cons to the new plan, "you're saying it's Jesus, Moses, and Mohammed all rolled into one."

My understanding was that the R32s being moved to the , as well as the incoming 5-car R179 sets (to make 10-car trains on the ) would push R46s to the for supplemental 600' service, but that the would still have a mix of both 480' and 600' trains. If the R32s and the 10-car R179s can push enough R46s to the from the , that would make sense, but I'm not sure whether or not the numbers would work out in that case.

Ah, thanks for the info. Any idea if the 179s will be assigned permanently to the C, or if they'll move back to ENY once these kinks are worked out. Additionally, any timeframe for when the pulled cars will go back into service?

I've been following the issues with the R179s, and someone said they waited along the C for an hour during the Friday rush and saw no 179s. Have they all been pulled from the C due to the intercar spring issues?
