Sounds to me, it's almost ready for revenue either this Spring or this Summer

[@arnoldcenteno2021]

Spring 🟢

[@jaytv25]

probably when R179 becomes 10 years old

[@AIRRAZOR44]

Fall ‘23

The end of the month, early March, from what I've been hearing. Just short of 2 years worth of testing. I'm figuring that they pressed the issue because of the supply chain issues, making sure the train is reliable. Second, the 211t won't be testing as long, since any corrections needed were already worked on at the factory via correspondence. So with these, Im looking at the fall. October perhaps. By this time,we should have plenty of R211As in rotation.if the schedule is kept,of about 20 to 30 cars monthly. It's a waiting game now.

[@Alt1229_Transit]

Wow, the "stand clear of the closing doors please" announcement is louder on the R211 compared to the other NYC Subway trains. It's like the announcement is playing through the external speakers instead of the internal speakers.

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

That’s exactly what’s happening here! The SCCD announcement is indeed playing through both the internal and external speakers along with the route announcements.

I love how they're still using Charlie's voice on the trains

[@Mtaiscool18ds]

Wow, all these tests non stop since 2021 and yet hasn't failed any of them. These will turn out to be long lasting and good trains. Amazing video though, didn't even know this test was a thing until I ran into this video

[@tomwujek4867]

The MTA on the reporter preview ride mentioned that testing is going really well and will be at least 3x more reliable than any of the trains in the system. The R160A/B are already very reliable, so that is very good news.

[@Mtaiscool18ds]

Wow good to hear

I’m glad the updated the LED Lights coding on when the doors open and close

We're getting closer to actual service. When will we get them?

[@leecornwell5632]

More R211A/TS are coming. Some of them will be going to Staten island also . I'm just letting you know.

Awesome video!

Thank you!

The r211s hit service on the A line today!

This is the same footage as DJ Hammers, do you collaborate / cross supply, or is one or the other ripped off?

[@Patchy682bestbus]

late comment but sheesh this is honestly how they shouldve done the simulated stop testing just 1 door opened

[@jaydenphilbertmunipals9089]

And the R211s is already built so we will get to see it being delivered soon baby

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

And one more r211t set

[@tanishaglasgow8098]

Ohh yeah that's awesome

[@gavinitka5759]

The r211s sounds like r160B with Siemens propulsion.

[@moonlitcat2022]

Can we all agree that well, the train was first arriving to the platform in the beginning it kind of sounded like crab rave

[@Eastern.Railfanner]

Nice catch and when was this taken?

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

Thanks! All information is provided in the description.

[@nycsubwayfan4062]

I don't know bout y'all but to me it sounds like an R160B Siemens but it's more high pitched.

[@jaytv25]

It sounds more like R143B Siemens 2004

Will r262 also have closed gangways trains?.

[@leecornwell5632]

Yes. The R262As will definitely have the close ways. 549 R262s will definitely have the open gangways just like the C lines. The R262s is not gonna be 100 percent open gangways because I have a real spriital feeling they are definitely gonna have the R262As end ways I'm telling you. The R262As could definitely run on the 8 Thrid Avenue Elevated line to replace the R12S R14s. If Governor LaGuardia and Robert mosses would of kept the 8 Thrid Avenue Elevated line going they would of definitely put the R37s on the 8 Thrid Avenue Elevated line if they would have not tairing down the 8 Thrid Avenue Elevated line down and the R62AS would of definitely replacing the R12S R14s right now just like they had the R62AS on the 1 3 6 S and R62S on the 4 Jerome Ave line back in the 80s and 90s . The R62AS R62S got replace by the R12 R14s R21S R22s R15S R17S.

[@leecornwell5632]

Yes the R262s will definitely have open gangways. The R262As will have close ways just like the R211As R211S . I'm telling you

[@leecornwell5632]

The R46S is definitely gonna be off the A C lines when they get all the R211Ts On the C lines and the R211As and the R179s for CBTCS on the A C lines in 2025 . However we might see some R46S on the B D trains and the N W Q lines mix equipments R68S R68AS and the R46S. The R46S is gonna be here for Adleast two or three years. I'm just letting you know that right now. After all the R211As on the A R211Ts open gateways on the C lines and the R179s the R46S is gonna be definitely taking off on the A C lines for CBTCS. Just like they did on the Pelham 6 line taking off the R142As off the Pelham 6 line and the R62AS back on the Pelham 6 line got replace by the R142As .
