Is it testing so it can be used on QBL or is it testing its own CBTC internal system? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted March 31 Share #7529 Posted March 31 Well, the R211S pilot revenue service is now late indefinitely. So much for a March testing date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing that officially confirmed it's debut service date from the jump. Just some "fans" that got carried away and faulty news sources label it as an "expectation"..... Not gonna lie, they haven't trained the all the operators and maintenance on the trains completely so it would be late.

My guess is that the MTA may be prioritizing the delivery of the r211As since it's a larger order than the r211Ss. There are people out there that are criticizing the fact that SIR is getting new trains before higher ridership lines like the "1", "3" and "D" trains. It's possible that these SIR haters may not be aware that the r44's are older than the r62's/r68's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the r46's are in currently in CI. The number of Pitkins r46's will decrease or is already slowly decreasing as more r211's enter service. Let's not forget about the r179's on the A/C trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted April 1 Share #7539 Posted April 1 Due to Gearbox problems again they took out 5 R211 sets and are reactivating four 10-car R32 sets to make service. Go get your pictures! /s 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "A" train currently uses about 42 trains. Divide that by 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divide that by 2. And that doesn’t mean that the train order will alternate between R46 and NTT train (R179/R211). You can get 15 R46s in a row and then a single NTT train, then an additional 7 R46s, and then 20 NTTs in a row, or any mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event that 5 r211's get pulled from service for whatever reason in the very near future, the r46's would fill the gap. Let's not forget that the r32's were retired before the r211's entered service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it's up to the train yards to decide the train order and how many trains per fleet are they going to run per day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and that depends on what’s available for service, what trains need inspections, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
