Why don't these trains work properly?

[benobve]

There are lots of reasons.

The english wikipedia dosn't say much about MF88 but the french wikipedia does - use google translate

So, the mf88 is basically reaching the its last years. Have they been used in other lines in the past also??

[MF443]

@Subway2400 Yes

I hope line 7b can do at least 1 million journeys and I rather see the MP89 trains being replaced instead of MF88. IT IS SO SLOW!!!!

[Subway2400]

The motor sound is like the NYC Subway's R160 Siemens, isn't it ?

[HARTline2012]

That's what I thought. Maybe that will happen if they merge the two lines into Line 15

[Citeyosh]

No, it is not envisaged anymore

[JoeRoss1993]

I thought they were plans to get rid of the MF88 and replace them with older, but more reliable MF67 stock.

[HARTline2012]

Surprising, I guess. Maybe $ issues?

I would rather see the MP 59s on this line though, than to see the 88s get further damaged

ik wil gewoon dat deze metro rijdt op metrolijn abcde in rotterdam gaan rijden

[HARTline2012]

I read the French Wiki recently and now know why. That is unfortunate really. Especially being that these trains could be retired earlier than any other currently operating train in the system.
