What you see in the photo is just a mockup and will not be used as you'd have to dismantle the whole thing to open the overhead panel. Two other doors on that car have different grab bar configurations as Tech Services are trying to find the best solution to improve street level access on the 9's. Of course, pending favorable feedback, similar setup can be used on the 10's.

Ahhh... that’s cool but I don’t agree about the stanchion in the middle of the doorway.

The S200s have RFID on the operator cards so are all are all CT operator cards RFID chipped and the LRT operators cards are given access to open the cab and enable the controls? Or similar? 

 

Also does the OTMR log all events such as Cab doors opening and cab "initializations" with the specific operators card used? Similar to building access control?

Sounds about right.

And what do we have here?

Has Calgary Transit accepted that car or does Siemens still own it, or use it for other testing purposes? The last one of our first batch (former parts car 2033) finally got accepted last august, but Siemens promptly chose that car to use as a test rig for everything else (it had just gotten its interior finally finished, but then they ripped it out again to install new seats), and it still hasn't entered service.

Well, there’s a little bit more to the story on this car…

You probably meant 2443... the new driver's  seat in one of the cabs is for operators to test and to provide feedback as it is intended for the Series 10s.

 SD-160 refurbs complete?

So far, we got 26 out of 72 refurbs back with only 6 more 'Series 6' left to do. The rest are all Series 7s.

 

It took nearly 2 years to get the first 15 S200s in so if the Series 10 cars really start coming in next year, we will be well into 2024 before the order is complete so the U2s will have to be around until at least then.

So what is going on with the Series 10? It has been two years and I can not find any update anywhere on the internet.
