When the CBTC system is up & running on the L train in 2005, how many train sets of the R143 will be assigned to the L train & are there still plans to assign some of the R143 to the M train in 2005, if so, how many train sets will be assassigned to the M train & how many more R42 cars will be transferred to Coney Island Yard from ENY.

I believe that when ATO/CTBC is ready by spring 2005, the R42 will be moved off the line. Still, not all R143 cars will be able to run on the L some are needed for the weekend M shuttle.
