Worse than WORST? It's the Yale newspaper.

poorly written article, how is New Haven line expanded ?? and their suggesting 60 and 94 car cars instead of 60 plus a 34 option.

[Jeff Smith]

Any update on the status of these? I think there were up to 94? including options... Supposed max M8 fleet of 499 I think I saw somewhere?

I'm curious as to what the numbers on the new cars are.

[DutchRailnut]

My numbers show 94 more, as to when, I think due to delay on M-9's it will be second quarter of 2020 for first delivery.
as for actual car numbers, nothing posted yet but pretty sure it will be 66% 34% split between CDOT and MTA

[Jeff Smith]

Jaap, all pool? And, of course, think there will be any bar cars LOL let's open that can of worms LOL. I say not.

[DutchRailnut]

yes all pool as MN would be maintaining the M-8's .

There are 66 cars coming. The remaining “option” cars have not been and will not be optioned.
