This post is for anyone who knows fleet assignments:

With 3 M8 8-car trains in service as of now, I would like to know the current M8 assignments.

PS: I saw gregorygrice's post of fleet assignments when there were two M8 8-car trains in service.

ATS stands for "Automatic Train Supervision", not like "Automatic Train Stop" in Japan.

When is the pilot 11-car R188 scheduled to arrive in the subway?

I do not think that M8 trains will be assigned on weekend/holiday runs when these cars start revenue service. When R160 started revenue service (NOT revenue service during the 30-day test), these cars were only assigned on the weekday runs on the . Don't expect that they will run on weekend. They may, but just don't expect it.

Huh? Can anyone answer this?

I am asking this because M7A's A (even numbered) cars face Grand Central, while all others' A cars (not everything, though) face the other way. It is not like Long Island Rail Road, which all EMU's A cars face Long Island.

It faces either Grand Central or Connecticut, and I am looking for the answer of either one of the choices.

So which direction will A (even-numbered) cars face?
