But this is all what I think will happen. Feel free to comment if you have a different prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted May 10, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 10, 2010 Why would the become 160s? Also, the is not giving up its R160s. The riders are going to start complaining again:mad::mad::mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to comment if you have a different prediction. my preference is if the E F and R got its 32's back. of course that will never happen but its still nice to dream lol my prediction is everything to be R160 Alshits and the last of the real trains at Jamaica yard will probably be sent off to Pitkin-207 for the a/c.

MTR Admiralty Posted May 10, 2010 Share #5 Posted May 10, 2010 The will not be using R46s except for some rush hour runs (but even these could be rare). The rationale of having 60 footers is because 75 footers cannot deal with the crowds. Chances are, the could be 100% R160, or largely R160 with SOME R32s running. I can't give figures because, I myself is only a normal commuter with no prior knowledge of events that will happen. JAM will continue to have its R160s, there really is no reason for it to exchange them with other cars in the system. Don't forget, there is a plan to put CBTC on the express tracks (in a 10 year timeframe?) The F and the R will share R160s and R46s as they do now. But my guess is that the F would have a greater percentage of R160s because again, the 60 footers can handle crowds. The R, being a local, does not have to deal with the crowd volumes on the likes of the E and the F, and thus would not justify a full R R160 fleet. As one of the members here have mentioned, there is a likelihood that the G could run R160s due to OPTO. But no details on this have been provided, so I would only say this item is merely a provision. Most of the (M)'s fleet will base out of ENY. So ENY R160As will run on the . There will have to be spotty SMEEs hanging around because only the same number of R160As laid aside for the (M1) would most likely be used on the . And since the route is a longer route for more hours of the day, chances are, there will be additional equipment (perhaps coming out from JAM).

R32 3348 Posted May 10, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 10, 2010 The should be staying the same after the cuts. Maybe you might see an R32 on the line (it's too early to tell). The and are probably going to be the way they are now, sharing R46s and R160s. The is going to use the current (M2) fleet, along with the 32 additional R160As (4 trains) East NY is getting. It will be based out of ENY and use R160s. The is likely to remain the same. You never know when R160s may hit the route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSmith Posted May 10, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 10, 2010 The is and will remain 100 percent R160s. There is no reason whatsoever to fiddle with its equipment now.

If something more efficient comes along, the R179 say at sometime in the future, then the and may use that equipment. I see no reason too, IMO. Since the majority of the regular riders are very satisfied with the R160s, they will go nuts if they were given R32s. However, such may happen depending on how many R160s are out there or used. Priority probably goes to the when it comes to assigning the R160s, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Line1291 Posted May 10, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 10, 2010 Whenever R179s come into the scene, the needs it way more than the since Queens Blvd is planned to get CBTC (as mentioned above) plus CBTC on Culver Line in Brooklyn and its an longer line than the is. The is probably to be majority or maybe 100% R160 when R179s do come around, but around that time the Queens Blvd line could finally be 100% NTT.

And that's if: the R179s are refitted with CBTC technology and/or they are going to JAM. We really don't know for sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CBTC on the Culver line is only for the test express track, not for actual revenue service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
