5153 is this one of this year's holiday wrap buses. There is possibly going to be an Artic also wrapped.

1770 is also wrapped.

2252 is on display at CUTA this year, anyone know what that weird blue destination sign is?

Is there a Express route that uses Senlac? I saw an LFS with destination sign indicating "Express Route to Sheppard-Yonge Station VIA Senlac".

 

But there is nothing on the TTC Website. 

There isn't any express route that goes via Senlac to my knowledge, when did you see this?

Some photos along with a ride video and start up of 3411.

Update on 4471, 4478 and 4486 from the Leslie Barns Employees.

4471 and 4478 should be sent out sometime next week to the US to get fixed up after the flooding.

4486 has duct tape covering the hole it got on it's roof, they are currently awaiting the new part to replace it.

Information may not be 100% accurate so we will see.

and how did you get to meet Eric Chu?  Also I am curious about your batch number.

He doesn’t work for the TTC. 

Noticed the new ticket option on 2 of the new Presto fare machines at Union station today during work, of course not ready yet so your unable to purchase any ticket fares from it. The rest of the machines there have it marked as future fare option.

TTC Bombardier T1 spotted deadheading on Line 1 today at Union station around 12pm. It went north towards Vaughan then after at least 20 minutes came back down deadheading towards Finch station.

Surprising this hasn't been mentioned anywhere, but I assume its because its nowhere in the news.

A passenger was stabbed on one of the last runs of 98/99 last night, with police saying it was random.

It has on Twitter I noticed, here is one article from CityNews.

How many 2018 Arbocs were ordered?

I will confirm in December.

Okay I just left it as presumably built in 2017 on the wiki page, thanks.

So can anyone confirm if the Promasters were built in 2017?

Both are westney

 I suppose I should’ve also mentioned that.

4 Growth Promasters due next year should be under the 5500 numbers

Alright, thanks again!

Just now, 110B West Pickering said:

Thank you for saving me the work.

 

ill be at Westney Wednesday night to check plates.

Sounds good and no problem, also one more question what division are the 2 promasters based out of?

2 minutes ago, 110B West Pickering said:

I didn’t receive any official word on that regard. However, as a general rule in the past with DRT, where a vehicles is delivered, is generally where it has entered service.

Alright sounds good, thanks.

Got confirmation from DRT about the vehicles that will be arriving in the coming months.

Firstly, 6100’s and up are new Conventional vehicles

7100’s are new BRT vehicles

This year (2018 vehicles) 13 busses coming in (6100-6112) of which 4 are growth and the other 9 are replacements.

next year, 16 growth and 11 replacement. 4 of the vehicles will be for PULSE

So 6100-6112 are all at Westney? I have created the page for it.

Hey, do you guys have any photos of the TTC Novabus LFS HEV's? Heard that somebody spotted one.

Wonder if NFI will get the order this time, that would be interesting.

Whatever, delete.

And why wouldn't the people using the 501 in Woodbridge just transfer at VMC?

Signal problems... that's why 

Probably because people got used to taking Brampton Transit straight to York University and now that they want to change it, they much rather get there with 1 fare oppose to paying for both BT and TTC.

Based on the pictures I have seen, I still suspect there was significant damage to the cab electronics and the below-the-floor electronics, including the traction motors. Does anyone know if the cars were operable after this incident or did they end up being towed to Leslie?

Pretty sure they would have just towed both of them back to Leslie.
