ThirdRailVision Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 By "blue plastic inserts" do you mean seats? Like, in contrast to the fabric-backed seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a few reports of those cars on the blue line previously on this forum. It sounds like they are just an anomaly, probably just means they had extra plastic inserts at one time. They're the same as the ones on the folding seat opposite the operator's cab, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcmetro Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I've noticed more and more of these plastic seat inserts as opposed to the fabric ones on the Blue Line. I hope it is a fleetwide thing, at least for the Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
