Both open gangway trains should be in service within a few weeks. Let's cross our fingers. How many r211's are currently in service on the A? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe only 3 sets are running at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of November 18th the following 3 trainsets are in revenue service: 1. 4060-4069 (Pilot trainset) 2. 4130-4139 (Newest Production trainset) 3. 4110-4114+4125-4129 4125-4129 were the first to return linked with 4070-4074, however 4070-4074 has been missing in action since November 9 and instead 4110-4114 took its place. I have not witnessed 4140-4149 at all yet it should be the next trainset to debut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply traveling from Harlem to Midtown and the newest r211 was the first train that came. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happen to the set 4070-4074 did it go out of service again or it’s is being rotated with 4125-4129 or 4110-4114. But thanks for the update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like there's anything different between the 2 outside of the different shell type between cars. I wouldn't be surprised if they run an R211A and R211T mix outta nowhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of November 27th (the last time I observed the A line) 1. 4060-4069 (Pilot Set) 2. 4130-4139 3. 4110-4114+4129-4125 (First Production Set to return) 4. 4100-4104+4120-4124 (Second Production Set to return) Have not observed any new sets burn-in testing. While I am unable to confirm the status of the R-211T it seems quite implicative that it will run in service very soon. I was told that this month was when it was supposed to debut but so far there is no further word and the month is almost over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then they wouldn’t have this problem right now. The only problem I see in today’s era is human errors. (Stop looking at your phone when in class.

You posted this yourself on November 4th, but wasn't that one pulled again? Or at least half that set. That would be 27 days as of today.
