Dj Hammers Posted February 10, 2020 Share #5577 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) I'm sure this info is also going to be in an upcoming ERA bulletin as well as elsewhere, but the official car assignments have changed to reflect R32s running only on the A line alongside R46s and R179s, with the C being a mix of R46s and R179s. As it happens occasionally with changes to car assignments for various operational and bureaucratic reasons, sometimes it takes a while for what actually takes place on the road to catch up to the changes in car assignments. But given that the official car assignments denote zero R32s on the C, I'd say get your R32 C rides in now while you can I guess.

There is more important issues such as lack of elevators, terrible working environments etc and you're going to sue the agency over the car assignments?

I voice my opinion and everyone gathers the pitchforks but others voice and all is calm with the world. anyways, changing topics, it’s almost time for this supposed CBTC launch. I wonder if the launch will be as on time as the was (99% complete since 2015 and activated in 2019) Edited February 11, 2020 by darkstar8983 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voice my opinion and everyone gathers the pitchforks but others voice and all is calm with the world The thing its really petty and childish for a grown man to pass up multiple trains consisting of an car class you don't like to ride an NTT. Its fine to do that while railfanning but doing it during your commute is just silly. The average commuter wouldn't even think to do that. NOTHING is wrong with liking NTT over old equipment, I'm pretty sure the average rider prefers New Techs over SMEE cars but their not gonna pass up an train just because its consist of older cars. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
