Get rid of the 3x2 seats. Make them all 2x2 seating with slightly wider seats & make for wider isles. Nobody sits in the middle seat of a 3 seater anyway, especially with todays paranoia about catching coodies from a suprise sneeze or whatever is the disease du jour of the day that might be carried by your fellow passenger. I've seen riders stand instead of sitting in the middle of a 3 seater. The wider isles would come in handy on holidays when travelers who fail to grasp the concept of travelling light & board with those cumbersome luggage carts with what seems to be a good portion of their worldy possessions. |

They can't legally do that, the requirement is for 100 people per car minimum with 2x2 seating you only less than 80 per car. your fleet would need to be increased by 20%.were would you yard all that equipment and were are you gone run all those trains that need to be 20 % longer, just impossible unless you go with double deckers, which gives you other problems. |

Even with 3+2 seating, there is a seating reduction from an M3, though I think some of the area behind the cab vis-a-vis an M7 is reclaimed for seating. |

Ah well; it'll just get bigger.Perhaps the M9 ought to be a bilevel similar to NJT's planned MLV "power cars" but inter-workable with the C3 cars? Not like Kawasaki can't build something like that. |

All they have to do is figure out a workable design that will fit in the Park Ave tunnel & maneuver the crossovers north of the platforms. Forget about the loop tracks. |

"do not think LIRR wants any MU's they cannot operate to 63rd STreet."Huge planning mistake, designing a tunnel that would never accept bi-level cars, since that concept was in full force (successfully) in the Chicago commuter zone back then, when the 63d st tunnel in the planning stage. As far as I know. |

Wasn't that a bi-level tunnel with the subway on top & the LIRR underneath? The LIRR (MTA) dictated the specs of dimentions which at the time gave no thought of the future equiptment, AKA BI-level cars.As Homer Simson would say...DOH! |

At the time the 63 St tunnel was designed, the MTA didn’t exist and I believe the LIRR still had some double deck cars in its fleet. I doubt that any significant changes would have been made between the time of design and the time actual construction started and even then, there were probably still some LIRR double deckers still operating. |

The M-1 was designed in 1966, then to be just 500 cars. I saw artist renderings in Trains at the time.The double deckers were around thru Feb 1972. Only the 30 MP75 would have been able to fit through 63rd, if that. They were 2 inches taller than an M-1. |

I don't recall anything about consideration for any LIRR stock running through there, frankly. The main single-deck MUs were the MP72, and I'm not sure the MP70Bs would have fit.
