They can't turn on CBTC until the base order of R211As are here, and signals can't be ripped out until the R68/R68As leave the . A good start was removing the R68A train trip from the schedule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Signals are being put into Place they running the wires all they gotta do is connect them. They looking to get it done have it online(In bits and pieces) next year barring any hiccups.

How much is actually needed for the R211s for plus R179s when it goes online. Because right now the 44 trains for rush hour. Won’t it the need more trains for CBTC ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because right now the 44 trains for rush hour. Won’t it the need more trains for CBTC ? The current standard employee timetable calls for 40 trains in the PM rush. We have 13 full length R179s and as such we would need 27 R211As to provide a full CBTC compatible fleet if we leave no spare factor, and at this point we are roughly halfway there. 1 hour ago, habbyy said: What is the most recent status update regarding the R179's becoming CBTC equipped? the most recent update is "that's for Division of Car Equipment to know and for the rest of us to find out when they feel like telling us" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
