When are the new multilevels going to be delivered? Thanks in advance.
I've been wondering the same thing. They were originally supposed to be delivered last spring, but delivery kept getting pushed back. November 2013 was the most recent delivery date, but that's come and gone and I haven't heard anything.
I don't what it is with MARC and getting their equipment, but they always seem to be very, very delayed getting into service:
- The MP36 units were late and were delayed nearly a year after the MTA had a dispute with MTA
- It took nearly two years for the 16 Kawasaki bi-levels from VRE to be "repainted" into the MARC scheme
- Of course the most infamous is the "18-month" AEM-7 overhaul that took over 3 years and they still don't work properly
The only success story is the MARC IIB single level overhauls which were done by Bombardier
