    Does anyone know how the last train of the night is scheduled during these late night line 2 subway closures and if they time it with the shuttles? 

    For example, if i boarded the last EB train of the night from Kipling at 1:30, and then connect to the shuttle at st george. Will they hold the last EB train from Woodbine for the shuttle connection, or will everyone just be left at Woodbine to wait for the 300?

    I cant seem to find any answers to this on the TTC website.

    The shuttle coordinators hold a handful of buses to carry patrons across eastbound to Kennedy Stn from Woodbine Stn. The same is done in the westbound direction

    So I went over to the fence at Mount Dennis with a friend yesterday to look at the Proterras. Not only is 3731 missing parts (most prominently the bike rack), but there's also a stop sign on the front of the bus with a note.

    What's the note, you may ask? It's on shop wheels rather than the Alcoa ones. Make what you will of that, but it's really, REALLY not looking good.

     

    That specific unit hasn’t seen service in a year. It’s been on the rims suited for the regular hybrids and other e-buses for a while now

    just saying, they recommended to move 86xx to queensway and another nova is currently at queensway

    Then bring the suggestion up in the topic appropriate thread. Bringing the suggestion up in a different thread as a discussion piece will not get it addressed faster as this isn’t the company that would be replying to your suggestion. We’re all just enthusiasts. Some that are more properly informed than others

    Some days you see quite a few trains trundling along the east part of the line, some signed "TRAINING CAR". Other days, like today, there's nothing. I don't know what that means, if anything.

    I also wonder what exactly will keep instagramming explorers out of the tunnel east of Leslie. It looks quite inviting, actually, with a handrail and everything.

    I’m more than certain that Metrolinx will stay on top of trespassers at track level

    I don't even think TTC knows where there sending them. They'll probably wait for NFI to send a message that one is being shipped, then at that point TTC will scramble to find which Divsion they'll send it to. 

     

     

    New Flyer has to deliver the last 4 XDE60s, and push the rest of the deliveries into service before the next XE40 order would get the green light to commence delivery

    Have 8620-8632 and 8943 lost their wifi?

    8943 was never wifi equipped despite being wifi branded. There are also some 88xx buses from Arrow that are wifi branded, but I don’t believe they are equipped. The 8900-8939 or 8940 group should all still be wifi equipped, but they did not all receive the exterior wifi decals after receiving their refurbishments. 
     

    I can’t speak for the 8620-8632 units

    If this question hasn’t been said already; What is that orange light at the front of 8912?

    The one under the driver’s side of the front windshield? It is the engine retarder disable light. All buses (post-2000. I can’t recall about the BYD buses) have the light. On the hybrids and e-buses, it is the regenerative braking disable light
