I would argue the fleet's been on hold to begin with – if this isn't resolved by next week's reopening when capacity is needed, watch this space... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reopening may be pushed another week or so b.c of the riots happening all over including that curfew that was announced by Cuomo. Edited June 3, 2020 by Calvin mentioned next week b.c mosts stores now have shattered glass and streets are vandalized 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it. Part of the reopening is to help end the curfew + riots. That's why the curfew is set to expire Sunday. If people are on the street, the empty streets that the looters are making use of won't exist. The last thing Cuomo and de Blasio want is another week of the city emptying after sunset. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't. This does however leave the question if the R42's are going to come back out of retirement (for the 2nd time) to make service on the and . Without the R179's the can't run at full service, and going by the door issue a few months ago, the R179's won't return to service for a while until each set is inspected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet on the 32s before the 42s, honestly. But we'll see what they need to make service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted June 3, 2020 Share #6561 Posted June 3, 2020 They're gonna need the R32's for full service next week, both r32's and R42's will be needed because a portion (don't know how many) are stripped for parts. all Hell is gonna break loose. the are retards, never should have Retired the R32's yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we at least wait until next week? For all we know just like the door issues the MTA can say they "fixed the R179s" and no R32s would even come out. Plenty of time to do inspections between now and next week no matter how "impossible" it seems to be. (I say "Fixed" because they put the R179s back on the road within a month or so and supposedly there were still a couple reports) Edited June 3, 2020 by MysteriousBtrain Typo, said week instead of month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I say "Fixed" because they put the R179s back on the road within a month or so and supposedly there were still a couple reports) they broke apart in the middle of service, that's alot worse than the door problem and even after the door problem they still had issues that covered up just to put them back into service. Byford is laughing his ass off right now in the UK. and with everything going on right now its gonna take longer. with the OOS the can use the R46/68's until next week. the is the only line that might need extra cars since its an 8 car line. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainmaster5 Posted June 3, 2020 Share #6567 Posted June 3, 2020 I’m appalled by some of the recent comments about New York City and the reopening. The operative word is Phased. Now go back and look at what Phase 1 is about. New York City is not reopening for business as usual. Reading is fundamental. There are four distinct phases to complete before the City is opened up completely. We are still at the beginning stage and hopefully we haven’t been set back by the recent events. That’s what I’ve been reading and heard from the Governor. My take. Carry on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t 24/7 considered full service 6 months ago. That’s my point. So far from what I’ve seen the LIRR is just adding cars to increase train lengths for social distance reasons. Why wouldn’t NYCT just run more trains? It would accomplish the same thing. The new definition of full service? My take. Carry on.

bwwnyc123 Posted June 3, 2020 Share #6574 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) R32 will not die yet, Back for some more Action.

jon2305 Posted June 3, 2020 Share #6575 Posted June 3, 2020 Those R179s were practicing "social distancing" 😅. Jokes aside, happy to hear there were no major or minor injuries reported. Not looking for the R179s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
