R44 5278 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share #107 Posted March 10, 2009 I just hope that the last of the R38s would run on the A during the weekend GO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted March 11, 2009 Share #108 Posted March 11, 2009 Something in me tells me that their death date is 13 March 2009. 1. The number of cars 2. The fact that the C does not run on weekends 3. Black Friday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted March 12, 2009 Share #109 Posted March 12, 2009 Something in me tells me that their death date is 13 March 2009. 1. The number of cars 2. The fact that the C does not run on weekends 3. Black Friday... makes sense. since they are only eight cars left, i think they are going to have all eight of them run together for one final trip on the line either this friday or monday. So long R38s, the first official casualty of the R160s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted March 13, 2009 Share #120 Posted March 13, 2009 Seen 4098 & 4099 bringing up the rear of an O/O/S on the NB express track at Utica Ave this morning. Methinks that its time for that car to go next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted March 13, 2009 Share #121 Posted March 13, 2009 now that the R38 is pretty much gone, which one should go next? i say the R42 or the R32, the R40S is too unique to scrap first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the R42's and the R40M's first, then the R40 slants then the R32's. The latter are still kinda good, but its time for them to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted March 13, 2009 Share #124 Posted March 13, 2009 At the moment, EVERYTHING is going. Theyre ditching the worst cars in the whole fleet first. Not just R38s and R32-P2s. A few slants, Mods, R42MKs, R32-P1s are all being removed from service. However, once things settle down, latest word is that the slants will be the fleet being retired.

R42s are in the worst condition possible and most commuters do not seem very pleased with them, not to mention they have the 2nd worst MDBF of 2007 right behind the R44s. but i think Art is right, 4 Phase I R32s, 20 MK R42s, and a few R40Ms were recently taken out of service and all R40 slants are going next, which upsets me a lot because i rank the slants better than the R38/40M/42s.
