Why doesn't Metrolink run with 6 car sets?

[@californiaporg]

Do not know, last time I saw one on service about a year and a half ago one was running with a 6 car.

[@brysonmedlock8212]

they used to run 6 cars frequently on the OC its probably cause of ridership or something but am not certain about it

[@LCPotato]

@@brysonmedlock8212 Yes that’s correct. At certain times of the day they’ll run a 4-5 car set in the middle of rush hour and the 3car set is at the beginning/mid of the rush traffic. The 6-car set seems to be always at the end of the rush hour and also within weekends.

[@brysonmedlock8212]

@@LCPotato actually no it is not, the reason why the sets are shorter is because of the metrolink bombardier cab car overhauls, as they pull a certain amount of cars out as one by one gets overhauled, which is a very slow and labor intensive process
