EphraimB Posted February 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2018 I'm curious what would happen if a train would get coupled with half of them being R160s and the other half being R32s in regular service. I know that is not technically possible but let's say that happens. Do you think there would be a lot of crowding on the R160 half of the train with a lot of room on the R32 part of the train?

INDman Posted February 14, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 14, 2018 Other than the fact that it’s nit actually possible and the train can’t operate (an adaptor can be used to add the two trains together in an emergency) regular riders do not car. Most do not notice the difference from one car class to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted February 14, 2018 Share #4 Posted February 14, 2018 I’m sure some do know the difference, but I’ve seen a shocking number complain about R160s and ask they don’t have any new train on the line as an R160 plus in. But going back to your hypothetical question, people will get on anything that they think is going where they want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the summer do you think the R160 half would be crowded and the R32 half be empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted February 15, 2018 Share #7 Posted February 15, 2018 Kinda hard to give an honest answer to a question that's based on something that's not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted February 15, 2018 Share #8 Posted February 15, 2018 Would people sprint 300 feet to get to an R160 from the “wrong end?” I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted February 15, 2018 Share #9 Posted February 15, 2018 Only if the AC is broken in the entire R32 half, and is working in the R160 half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted February 16, 2018 Share #10 Posted February 16, 2018 This sort of beats around the fact the R32s are married pairs and the 160s are 4 or 5 car linked sets. So you by default would be stuck with a train of awkward size and shape. There would have to be more of one than the other unless you're content with an 8 car train. The only way to make a 10 car train is 6 R32s and a 160A-1 set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
