R32's etc

Posted by davesgcr on Mon Jan 20 15:45:50 2020

How is the "emergency" use of R32's and R42's progressing ?

(or has the moment passed on the fleet issues)

Asking from London .....thank you.

The cars are holding up to the challenge.

The spare cars are running. For the R42's, which were recently retired but reactivated, the J/Z line is fielding 5/8 car trains daily. 40 out of the 50 cars in that fleet. Not all 10 spares are usable.

Do any R42's run off-peak or in non-Z service ?

Makes sense. The first Z in the AM goes back to Jamaica, and stays in J service all day. The rest are pulled of at Bway Jct.

I was thinking of going to the city and ride one. Would have to be a weekday. I don't want to have stand around up to 2 hours waiting for one.
