I can’t see how they could run 8 car trains on the R since they are in 5 car units and certain dedicated consists are required for the CBTC to work properly. Even if it were possible, what advantage would there be to it since the excess cars removed would probably not be able to be used on the trains currently in E and F service anyhow. Back when the pre NTTs were running it would have been possible to simply cut 2 car married pairs from 10 car trains and assemble them into either 8 or 10 car trains as needed, but that is not as simple with the NTTs. |
