Yeah, now that I think it through, I think you're right- the "suits" will want the Stubway to be a showpiece line with the very newest equipment. Almost certain to be R160 and/or R179.I thought my idea (actually, I think I cribbed it from another poster) to put the NTTs on routes likely to need sign changes, such as the N/W made more sense. But sense does not always prevail. As for running older equipment on new lines, there's no good reason not to do it. As long as all cars on the road are maintained to reliability, and replaced when maintenance becomes impractical, it should make no difference which route has 8 year old cars and which has 28 year old cars. But I've been around long enough to know that politics and optics do not always allow practicality to prevail. |
