MTR Admiralty 4 #8 Posted July 24, 2009 Are all of the R160Bs from the second option order going to be assigned to the Jamaica yard for and service or just only half of them? It depends, from some reports, they say half of them will go to CIY in exchange for 60 cars from the first order. I believe you asked this question already.

MTR Admiralty 4 #11 Posted July 24, 2009 Anyone know which propulsion system they will use? Probably Alstom. But to be honest, does it really matter that much what traction motor they will use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Railfaner100 0 #16 Posted July 25, 2009 Why can't the jamaica yard get R160B siemens sets for the and ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R32 3348 10 #17 Posted July 25, 2009 Jamaica is probably getting all of the R160Bs in the second option order. Half of them will have Siemens and half of them will have Alstom (source - Alstom press release about Option II. I will link to you if you want). I think the first half have Alstom but I could and may be wrong. We just have to wait and see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R44 5278 0 #18 Posted July 25, 2009 why cant there be a siemens set on the or ? Ease of operation/uniformity is a priority over variety. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
