so the chances of catching a R211 on the A like more often has risen. I like it
The A line can only take 3 more because remember they have 13 R179s running. The fact that they run 38 trains in total
@clbtransit47986 күн бұрын
Not exactly. The Rockaway Shuttle usually has 2 or 3 five car R179's, meaning that the A has 12 ten car R179's
@fantherailsbc5 күн бұрын
Adding on: Some of these trains are stored in the yard as backups or for rush hour as needed so the real number of trains that are physically active in service is significantly lower

@@kobyschechter8163 The two R211T trains (two consists = four sets) are prototypes. This means that they are under testing so the MTA is not ordering any more of them until the need to do so. They have open-gangways which is a new spec which requires A LOT of testing.

I decided to go on the A line yesterday to ride on a r211 for the first time. The set that I got was the 20th 4260-4269. This consist has a bugged program. Whenever it pulls into a station, Kathleen wouldn’t announce; “This stop is” nor the new software activated program. Before the doors opens, Kathleen is already announcing the next stop and all of the displays go blank. I rode it on July 13th, 2024.

They need to send these piece of shit trains right back where they got them from. The air conditioning is horrible and I dare not talk about the lack of seats and the seating arrangements! Super up close and personal seating for 5 on each bench and if your over 150 pounds, it’s seating for 4. I dread when I see it coming down the track in the morning.

We have one of these in southwest London: unit no. '5868 and just so happens to be painted in a heritage livery too. Brakes are Wabco but motors used to be English Electric but were recently converted to A/C by Kiepe (surprisingly they still sound similar to how they used to despite the substantial refit).

All trains are loud during the summer because of the HVAC constantly running to cool down the interior. The HVAC on the R211 is especially loud and always on full blast, same with the R160. Watch my older videos taken during the winter.
