Lead car is 2425. There no longer being assigned on any particular key. Since then remote storage has been quite common with the 9s at the Tuscany yard. The 9s are also being stored at Haysboro as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRT Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 2428 hanging out.... Drove a Series 9 consist today and had no issues downtown with the station announcements for the first time. They played perfectly and they didn't jam up! As far as the destinations inside the train I had no idea what it was displaying but I would imagine they were correct as they work together with the announcements. Those nines sure sound pretty cool when they go by.... they have a totally different sound on the rails. Nice rumble to them I must say! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Walton Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 I understand the card readers on the cab doors will open only for the assigned operator, and that the rest of the fleet, except possibly U2s,is to be refitted. The signs on the 2400s and 2300s scroll to show a 4-car train; will this be made standard so the train length always shows? Will these signs be refitted to the 2200s?

Rumor has it the series 5s will get new signage, infotainment screens and similar flooring and seating as the series 9s. The cab is supposedly completely redesigned too. This includes a glass wall and Center seating for the operator. Time will tell and won't know for sure until one of them shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRT Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 2415 is back in service. I noticed some body damage near the roof, looks to be patched up. Not sure how it got damaged but I'm assuming it came in contact to something in the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
