Unfortunately if they remove the 60 seats from the lower level of a 142 passenger non-restroom coach and pair it with two cab cars that's just 336 passengers per triplet. That compares unfavorably with the Arrow III's 120 passengers per car. Presumably if they're gonna run them on the NEC in 9 or 12 car trains they won't have all cab cars, so that could get them up into the same number of passengers per car as the Arrow IIIs if non-bathroom cars were interspersed. With two cab cars seating 127, four power cars seating 82, three bathroom cars with 132 seats, and three 142 seat non-bathroom cars you can just get to 1404 passengers, which equates to 117 passengers per car for the 12 car train.But then for the NEC locals the improvement in performance may make the loss of capacity a viable trade. |
