Fix 207 yard to accommodate 10 car trains. It is the most effective way to handle increase ridership on the "C". They aren’t going do work in 207, basically there going single 5 cars at a time in the 207 Shed/Inspection 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things regarding fleet assignments may or may not get interesting once OO1 starts arriving, but at this point, the only thing we can do is wait until the time comes to see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn’t make any sense at all..R179s are NOT leaving the anytime soon. Where did you even get this information from 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that the 5 car r179s will leave Pitkin. OO1 will retire all remaining r46s and make the "B", " D" mostly or fully NTTs. Some "B" trains are running to the Bronx during off peak, which is another reason why the "B" should get NTTs, whether it's r160's or r211s. There has been roll sign errors on the r68's that are on the "B". At least with the NTTs, passengers will know if the " B" is going to the Bronx or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been a constant on the B and the Q. The R68s mostly don't have a 96th St/2nd Ave sign so of course they are assigned to the line that goes there. And frequently the B signs aren't changed. This isn't new, it's been going on since they were assigned to the B way back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the "C" will eventually share the r211s with the "A". The only fleet that is assigned to the "C" is the 8 car r179s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
