thats not option 2... thats a R160A-2. its just a diviosion of the base order. r160a-1's are in 4 car sets and r160a-2's are in 5 car sets. all part of the base order. option 2 was ORDERED on November 10th, 2008 and wont come until 2009-2010. Option 1 of R160A is now being delivered and testing and will probably go into serivce soon.
you are confused. yes, 8663-8672 and 8683-8702 are all delivered... but that isnt option two. what you are thinking of is R160A-2's... not to be confused with option two. R160A-2's are part of the base order with R160A-1's. The only difference is thta the A2's are in 5 car sets, and A1's are in 4 car sets. Both A1's and A2's make the base order. now, option order 1 of R160A's (which is 9232-9592) is being delivered now. Option two was just ordered on November 10th. ask anyone else.. im right.
Looks like Option 2 is starting to invade the subways. Great.

No. 50 cars from option 2 sets have been setup and are out from CI.
8663-8672, 8673-8692, and 8683-8702 are sets out of CI said to be running on the N, Q, and W lines. They are all Alstom.
