That’s actually a pretty good way to swap the cars between the yards, by having R46 trains run service on the or in the morning and then having them be put in service in the afternoon on the or . I’m sure there’ll be plenty more of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every single person hesitated to enter, with several asking if this is actually a train...

Sounds like only Siemens R160Bs are left Unless there are some R160B Alstom propulsion trains still hiding Unless I’m mistaken and 8833-8837 is still straggling with 8768-8772 and 8778-8782 and 8743-8747. These sets are likely on the or as spares for the because the four R160s that i saw on the today were all Siemens propulsion (plus any others that may be rolling around) Edited February 13, 2020 by darkstar8983 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
