I forget. These first few sets will be an addition to the current fleet, not a replacement, correct?
Addition. The Orange Line needs the capacity at rush hour.

I believe that is the ultimate answer but not the short term one. Once all new cars are on site (in the expanded yard) the represent a capacity expansion.Addition. The Orange Line needs the capacity at rush hour.

I think that I might've asked this before, but I don't remember what the answer was. What will they do with the old cars as they come out of service for good?
Will they be scrapped for parts & then be dumped somewhere, such as in the deepest part of the Atlantic & made into a home for the marine life? New York City does that with their old ones. :???:

They're still in testing with extra techs riding aboard, and need to pass certain warranty milestones in service before "accepted" really becomes legally accepted. So no operable 01200's are going to get yanked for a few months..
CVB reports the trainset only did 3 round trips and was then pulled form service so the data can be analyzed. No word on when it will re-enter service.
According to the Globe, that just referred to taking it out of service for the evening rush. It will be back out there today midday.
Yes, but the T's tweet indicated it will only be running mid-day/not in full service for the foreseeable future. That is unacceptable after being billed as and marketed to the press as being ready to go. This isn't like the Type 9s where they were mere supplements. These are the actual replacements for the fleet and they need to start replacing the worst-performing cars immediately.
