Posted by Handbrake on Sat Nov 22 22:33:41 2025, in response to Re: More R211A's on the Bravo, posted by Spider-Pig on Sat Nov 22 21:43:49 2025. R211's are equipped only with thirty seats, and with flip up seats in the A car. The storm doors, as visible, are plug doors like R44/46 equipment. Platform doors are extra wide so that those who habituate and stand by a door leaf, and don't move out of the way, now have plenty of room. Compared with a R1/9 railcar that was equipped with fifty-four or fifty-six seats, depending on passenger width on the seat opposite the cab. The new extra wide platform doors remove enough railcar wall length that reduces the small window bench one seat from six to five seats. Advertisement consists of digital headliners. When car doors open, the station display at the low ceiling end of the railcar, where the HVAC unit is located, indicate what side of the train the doors will open. Along with flashing colored LED illumination at inside door edges. Side destination signage is considerably larger compared to previous NTT railcars, and security cameras. Once the R62/68 SMEE fleets have been replaced, the entire NYC transit system will be a homogenized with NTT equipment. I have rode 211's on the Brighton line, where the they appear to run rather quickly. I haven't experienced a run down 6th Avenue express tracks. |
