Any idea when the next class might start after 9/13?  I got a medical hold today and will most likely not be able to clear it by Monday

Doing the medical on 9/8

Got my canvas email today also.  How long after that until the next step?

The r46s at coney should go onto the  and and the r68s from those lines should go to the and until the 211s arrive.

another example would include the M9s. they also had quite a few delays before going into revenue service last year. 

https://www.newsday.com/long-island/transportation/new-trains-delayed-m9-lirr-1.31387548

this is probably why there's no guarantees as to how the 211s will turn out. even if they do get delivered on time, it still takes time for them to test (about a year) so they won't be arriving en masse until late 2021 at the earliest. 

it is essential to fix all of the problems with the R179s in order to make sure that service is running reliably without any shortages before the 211s arrive. this is probably one of the main reasons why the MTA is doing a through examination and analysis on their unreliability issues. 

The M8s also had issues and delays.  The 211s will also no doubt have bugs and other issues that will need to be worked out.

To make things go quicker the 262 order should be award to Kawasaki and have them build an a division version of the 211s

A proposal to get the  away from Lefferts

The  will take over the Lefferts from the .  It will operate full time, the northern terminal will be the 's current Bronx terminal.  Service will operate as it does now in the Bronx and Manhattan with local service on 6th ave late nights.  It will operate via the  from Broadway Lafayette to Jay st, then via the  making all  stops until Euclid then skips Grant  80th and 88th then makes all stops from Rockaway Blvd to Lefferts.   service in Brooklyn will be replaced by an extended .  As part of this proposal the  will be at Concourse yard with the  going to Coney Island

My  train came in at about 10 Mph today at 63rd Drive-Rego Park. And the operator kept doing that til I got to Roosevelt. I’m scratching my head like “Why is the T/O going so slow?” 

There were probably track workers in the area

What would make the most sense would be to build the air train to jamacia and connect it with the existing jfk air trian. Building the air train to connect with only the port washington branch will not do anything to help people from the eastern part of long island who might want to use the train to the air train to get to lga.

Maybe they should do a special farewell service with the R32 on the  for about a month.

the r32s cannot go on the  they are banned from the montague tunnel

There will have to be three and four car sets in this order to accommodate the 42nd st  

I took the opa back in April and I am still waiting for my score

isn't the  one of the first to be suspended if there is some type of distruption? If so it would not be going via montague anyway.  The better reroute for the  and  would be via the

Where is school car held?

Do we need to send the money order in before taking the opa or do we bring it with us?

Taking the opa on april 18.  list number 29xx

The XN60 pilots are due in September, the rapping of some xn40s is probably temporary until the main order of xn60s arrive.

Apparently there were sightings of a few R160 trains today. Anyone knows why the had them?

My guess is extras for the Puertorican day parade.

The R32s and R42s staying for longer is not necessarily Bombardier's fault.  The MTA needs additional cars especially for the L train shutdown.  Remember, this contract was signed in June 2012, months before Hurricane Sandy hit.

 

That being said, the delays in their other contracts are inexcusable and it would be a travesty if they are even considered for the R211s.  The R179s aren't even anything new and they've been dropping the ball on them.

I thought it was posted somewhere on here that bombardier was disqualified from the R211 order.
