Which the MTA is considering ,I doubt they are going to do put automated announcements and route strip maps on a 25 year old fleet, to costly, but The LED signs will be the only major upgrade just like they did when they rebuild the R-32 and R-46. I hope am wrong.

 

The R62's and R68's aren't getting LED signs.

 

No excitement going on. But i do not have faith R188 will run on  (7) ...  What so silly about ... What does have it deal third track.. When new cars .... When sometimes fail what next.? 

 

Once the Flushing CBTC project is completed, the 7 will only be able to run R188's. The only purpose of the complex R188 order, with conversions and everything, is CBTC. If not for CBTC, a small order would have been placed for a few new trains (probably 10 car trains to go to the 1, freeing up R62A's to go to the 7) to accommodate the extension to 34th St.

 

Any of the other IRT cars can in principle go anywhere (except the shuttle), but the 7 will only have R188's.
