[rr4567]

Good Bye R32 !!!! I can't wait for them to pull them off the .

 

I can. I don't know why everyone hates the R44.

[2 Train Master]

I can. I don't know why everyone hates the R44.

He didn't mean that,Chris meant when the 46's come 207 will no longer need the use of 32's so they will go in revenue on another line.I hope those 32's do come off the .

[R32 3348]

Well, looks like that R-46 19x8 would be interesting, will they actually connect 19x8 car trains and send them that way?

That's a nice way of putting it.

I wanted to point out the hatred of the 44s

So this is how much R46s should be left for the JYD...

 

and trains are gonna be half R46s with the rest R160s.

 

the of course will remain the same.

 

The and will be R160s only.

 

 

But that's just my guess.

 

your absolutely correct. however the will use more R160's than the

since the runs 29-30 trains, 10 or 11 of them will be R160

as the runs 45 trains 38 trains will most likely be R160. on the weekends the will be half of each R46/R160 while the will use more than 11 R160's

The does run way more R160's than the , But that might change, rerember The is going to need more trains due the (M2)/(W) being cut, They might use more R160's or take the R32's back that are on the right now.

Why June 27th? Re-read the OP.

Oh shit I missed that! LOL! Well I have some time but whenever they are retired, I know it will be a sad day for me.

That wouldn't be surprising. The is using more R46's again so I could see all of what you are saying becoming a reality very soon.

[Robert Paniagua]

Als, the R44s have a smaller RFW than the R46's and on the R46, the chances of seeing out the front or back wneds increase with it's larger RFW

The weekend I saw THREE R46 trains in a row I knew something was up.

Full Cab trains don't have "RFWs." Besides, those cab windows are almost always covered with newspaper.

 

@LRG

I only got R46s on the F during the weekend when I took it 4 times and was thinking that it had something to do with the E Train GO, if not the R46 Transfer.

I was referring to the first weekend of April on Saturday (the 3rd).

why would the need more trains? wasnt it the (MTA)'s motive to run less trains? ok suppose the does need more trains whos to really pin point assigning a specific car class for the line? after the 27th (for jamaica yard), the structure is this "whatever is available in the yard, will be used if necessary"

so by more trains it doesnt matter whether the (F)/® has the same amount of R160s or R46.

[Grand Concourse]

The will need slightly more trains to cover the loss of the (M2) in Brooklyn and a reduction of [compared to the ] in Queens.

Is this according to the work programs, schedules, or an educated guess? I haven't heard or seen anything one way or another. Maybe a "B" division person could chime in here. All I've heard is service reductions out here in (MTA)land.

It definitely will. That was actually featured in the service cut plan.

Educated guess, because I doubt they'll keep the current headways for the new . Plus Lower Manhattan will have only the serving it as well as 4th Av on brooklyn. The could certainly get some extra trains to run. about maybe up to 3.

It isn't. Have you looked at the schedule? It resembles the old (M2) somewhat.

[Grand Concourse]

Which basically means the will mean an overall reduction compared to the .

Yup...pretty much so.

[Sam]

From the MTA schedules, the will have 7-8 minute headways during the rush hours compared with ten minutes on the old (M2).The new is not as good as the V but certainly better than the old.

The (F)/® shares equipment so one day the will have more R160's than the and vice versa, The on the other hand is not going to need those R32's no more, there are more than 13 sets of R44's o the right now with R46's and 2 trainsets of R32's, if anything that R32 that's on the and those soon to be replaced R32's on the might wound up back at Jamaica for service, That's why I think it was stupid for them to transfer the R32's to 207th early, they should have did it when the new pick is in effect (this Monday), The IS NOT going to need the R32's after those R46's are transfered.

Well that's what service cuts are for, after all
