The MTA has released the details about the annual R1-9 holiday shopper special trains for this year. This year they're having a "pop-up shop" at 2nd Av as a vehicle for the Transit Museum to sell stuff - similar to the single R9 car that was parked at Brighton Beach for the BMT centennial over the summer.
The BMT Triplexes will be involved this year - supposedly as the pop-up shop, otherwise the particulars are pretty much the same as every year: M line stops between Queens Plaza and 2nd Avenue on Sundays in December between 10am and 5pm.
Departure times for either end of the ride are given on the MTA's website (as well as more details...and info about the vintage buses too. I know, this isn't BusChat...)
