Can someone educate me what the current problems are with the 01800's and the 0700's? Correct me if I'm wrong because I don't see these starting to show their age yet? It just would seem to be too soon to get brand new models for both of these since the 01800's (1994) and 0700's (2008) still have a modern feel to it. The orange line is definitely understandable but these lines I don't understand.
The 0700s have been fine, it's the 1800s that have been the unfortunate ones. Since 2019, they've began to show their signs of age, from sparks flying out the bottom of them to motor failure becoming the new norm.
700 series are the Blue Line trains and they are perfectly fine. The 1800 series on the Red Line have a shit ton of unreliability problems that it's better to replace them than try to rebuild them because they have problems so often
im fron the uk and its mandatory for all trains to have there headlights on when going forwards, but why in Boston do they have them off they are there for a reason
