R142’s won’t be running on the 42nd Street Shuttle anytime soon but the R262’s will when they come in, although their construction won’t be until after the R211 order is complete, possibly around 2025-26. Meanwhile the R142/A’s will undergo a mid-life overhaul which could include new features, and both the R143’s and R160’s will follow suit.
The original plan was to take 20 R142A's off from the Jerome Aveune Line and convert them into 20 (5-car) R188's for the 42nd Street Shuttle but this plan was scrapped because The original plan was to take 20 R142A's off from the Jerome Aveune Line and convert them into 20 (5-car) R188's for the 42nd Street Shuttle but this plan was scrapped because having 5-car R188's on the 42nd Street Shuttle would lose capacity by 16% because the R62A's are in 6-car sets and no seating for more standing capacity
You don't have to ever worry about the R142s being on the Times Square shuttle because in a few more years the R262/As will be on the 1 3 6 S lines for CBTCS real soon.

Yeah I think they’re waiting for the R211T to enter service bc they’ll either make the R262 order all open gangway or all closed door
First and only lettered train on an IRT Numbered Line 💪
The S train in car 7171 looks cool, but I wish I'd also see it in an r142a.
get all R142 LED now since you got on the 1 2 4 5 (7 has as a R188) & S
Only missing is 3 & 6!
I saw one R142 signed up as an (S) in E180th Street yard once

When was that *EVER* considered?
I mean they could use R188s from Corona to use it for the 42nd Street Shuttle
Nice video also could you do an r188 6 train
It looks perfect on a r142
If you were to do R143 codebreaks could you do N to queensboro, C to bway jct and R to 57 st 7 av from Forest hills?
Cool
Nice :)
Ayo R142 1 train in the beginning
