Posted by Xtrazsteve,

Enough of this madness. Next time be very clear in your post. Mention if you saw it in person or saw it tracking on Transsee or whatever you used. This way the reader can do the judging instead of you assuming. Then you won't get the backlash for cooking stuff up if it turns out to be false.

One of the luggage-rack equipped 8000s deadheading westbound on the Gardiner around Roncesvalles at 6:30 AM.

These buses don't go out on overnight runs do they? Luggage racks and 320 service? :unsure:

Some 192 late evening runs do go onto 300A. They do a round trip and deadhead back to Queensway from Pearson if I'm not wrong. Maybe this bus was way off schedule and was told to deadhead back from Danforth & Warden. Gardiner-Lake Shore-Woodbine-Danforth Ave is the usual deadheading route between Queensway and Danforth & Warden.

That sounds right. One round trip and returning at the airport around 4am.  Seeing one deadheading at 6am is quite unusual for a weekday but it could be doing overtime.

The 501 was diverting due to track work (http://www.ttc.ca/Service_Advisories/Route_diversions/501_shw_sp.jsp). I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this. Queensway is running the 501B daytime shuttle. One would notice there are more Novas out right now than on a usual weekend.

Okay, that makes sense, since the 192 would be at the airport anyway to start on 300.

Well, it was 6:30 AM on Saturday. But it started as a weeknight. :lol:

I don't think any 192 runs are scheduled at 6am on the 300A except Sunday morning where the become 192's later.

The 317 overnight shuttle was needed after 1am Friday might explain why it was out there.

Yeah, well, I did a double-take, and had to post about it, just for my curiosity. I'm not excited enough to warrant a Special Sightings post.

Transit tracking website reporting that the 57 Midland is predominantly running with OG hybrids. I could only see one of the NGs in service on that route. Thinking that the dispatchers at Malvern is concentrating the NGs on routes out of Scarborough Centre of which Midland isn't one of them so they're dumping the older vehicles there. Similar case with 39 Finch East which I have also observed using the OGs more than the NGs, if not the Artics deployed on 53 & 85.
