New Kawasaki Coach Questions

have they already gone for a test? how did it go?

Matt:

No road tests that I know of. All "static" testing/inspections at BET.
Road test should come at the end of the month - weather authorities
permitting!

From outside they look the same as the 700/1700's

now, when you static testing, are you talking about AC/ heating system test, lights, etc.?

For the most part, that's correct

The 902, which has been at SouthHampton Street for the past week, is bath-room equipped and also has decals on the outside that indicate it.

they are all bathroom equipped, thats one of the things that is so great about them.

Is the seating 2-3? i know there was some discussion about it but i dont thing we knew yet.

most likey they are, more seating capacity

im too lazy to read all the posts, but are the new double deckers doors automatic ?

Yes

The test train (1036, 3 of the 4 new coaches, and cab car 1718) was on the valley track at the BET yesterday (Tuesday) and today.

Looks like the 1036 & company go back out on the Lowell Saturday and Sunday for more testing...

What the he!! happened to the 902?

On a side note to this, are the 902 and 904 expected off the roster soon? Isn't it a bit confusing having two 902's and two 904's on the roster?

just about to post the same ?. Would they just change the #s or how would they handle the unit # sitiation?
