Metro CSW

R211s: (A)(C)(E)(N)(Q)(R)(W)(F)(G) i would think if it's Pitkin (Base), Coney Island/Jamaica (Op 1) and Coney Island/Pitkin or Jamaica (Op 2+the 4-car sets) because of the chances of the CBTC installation to be processed on a faction of those lines and needed fleet expansions. I'm not gonna rule out Concourse as a contenter but anything can happen. Jamaica can keep 70% of their R160s, the other can be moved to Coney Island and/or (oddly enough) Concourse, maybe even 207th but that's almost weird to me, i guess. The R68/68As can stay where are or be moved before their replacements are planned like the 46s did.

4236 (B82 today), 7802 (maybe) & 7698 (B83 couple days) have readers. I think there's more out of ENY that has readers as of this month.

my secondary theory would that the 140 cars (7961-8100) for the options. sorry I meant to say end at 7960 for the shuttle order.

The 42nd Street Shuttle planned for 6 car trains or so the platforms of the reconstruction plan can hold six-car trains at both Grand Central and Times Square.

I almost feel that the numbering is some kind of pattern or the 262s can be mixed in. LIke for example, if the six car sets of the 262 are on 4 trains (24 cars), then the numbering could maybe 7937-7959 and the rest of the base and first option could be within the 3328-4255(480+445) mostly ending at 4252. (Might be a different story if it's a 3 on 3 train) but who knows. Since the base order of those cars are said to be up to 504 cars. How the 211 numbering goes forward after 4256 could be anyone's crazy guesses for all we know. just a theory....

You know, being petty only gets you so far in life. @via Utica

Very mature. Next!

To earn his own; the typical way of saying this: If you can't take a little criticism, maybe YOU should go somewhere else. Good lord, that was a terrible designed map for a proposed route. Like a kindergardener trying to spell in the blackboard. Looks like the stock levels of Blockbuster. I didn't think lines would misused so much in my life. Almost like a crime graph marked across Brooklyn.

Modifying Ulmer Park slightly or move it to ENY or Flatbush (why am I thinking FB, that's retarded) if it's a big enough demand for future route picks. With UP isn't almost seems political when it comes to buses they can handle. But they'll never lose the B6 which is financially understandable and obvious but who knows, I guess. I wouldn't be against the idea of B6 getting artics, no one would I would think, but it'll be a while before the surfaces a plan for a configuration/conversation, especially with the agency's financial track record. Who could possibly know at this rate? 1) It's not like a trying to announce when it will. 2) We acknowledge that it's not in the next CP, Thank you, Captain Obvious.... for the painfully reminder.

No one did to begin with lol

.....Or we can use the main delivery thread.

I think it's safe to say that when the full installation and the actually OMNY card is revealed, it'll be truly feasible. I would think. Now? Not likely

Sets that have been delivered and yet to be in service: 3288-3302. 3293-3302 in burn-in during most of this week. 3288-3292 maybe testing with another set.

I like how these arguments just trails off the subject title in question. Bravo, guys lol. I simply think that the weekends don't really much demand unless it's a planned GO, obviously. Besides, that switch formation between Franklin Ave and Nostrand Ave don't need to be utilized if it's not peak hours; it'll just halt the trains unnecessarily when they can just go pass without waiting for a crossing train. It was always the that made it possible and I believe that was the brief reason why they cut it after 2010 regardless on finances but of course, brought it back for weekday demands. I think most of us know these reasons are obvious. No? Well.... ain't that something.

But no. It's going by a particular, realistic schedule if there's no delays. There's no reason to truly rush to process. Kawasaki has done a good job so far based on their track record, I guess....

Because Competition and diversity is a thing with bidding..... #1. You make it sound like it might be a bad thing. #2. Kawasaki is not the confirmed award winners for the 262s. If you're not aware, up to speed, these R62 replacements are under considerable planning and discussion. With that being said, nothing is said in stone yet. Patience, good sir....

Gentlemen..... Please give me a fruitless, logical reasoning for why would CBTC hold any obligational demand on a route serving two stations only with it's own tunnels crossing midtown 1/2 mile......??? I'm looking at the track map of said tunnels and wondering WHY!?!?

3070-73 is still on property, it still counts as compilation of delivery. Dude wasn't referring to testing really.....

1. It's too early to tell for sure. 2. Suck it up or take a different route until the replacements arrive.

Option #2 = 405 cars (81 five-cars sets) + 32 cars (8 four-car sets)

Let's not derail this thread so early before the bidding and conceptions starts, fellas.
