I actually don't think 1610 was "cover". It's been happening every weekday. The second 401 run jumps on the 24.

Read my post again.

I know I've read but you mentioned about 1610 being a cover.

8912 on 60 & 8780 on 35 (TTC Transsee)

Again, you are not reading the post properly. The first two sentences were about cover buses; the next two were not.

There are also regular "unscheduled" runs that predictably operate ahead of known crowding situations. The 24 has one of those; however, today that run was filled by 1610, not 2234.

And for the record, those extra unscheduled trips are operated using drivers on "cover" runs. And they will not operate if the bus is needed to replace another scheduled run somewhere else. That's why they have not been put into the schedule, to maintain operational flexibility.

YRT:

For some "retirement watch" sightings (via Transsee), 312, 401, 403, 405, and 406 were out in service this morning, indicated that at least those units have survived past the end of November for MTO renewals.

All of those except for 406 are currently in service now (the same afternoon).

TTC 1095 broke down on Eglinton near Renforth Station

[H4 5600]

TTC: 

7920 and 8056 on 66B. 7920 was a changeoff for 3346. 8056 was pulled from the 76A to do a sb 66B trip because of overcrowding on 7920. 

There seems to be some confusion now though, as now both 7920 and 3320 are on 66A and no buses are on 66B.

8897 on 50 Burnhamthrope

[yrt1000]

TTC 3471 did a NB trip as a 51S to Leslie Stn at about 6:15pm today. 

Also around this time there was a security incident SB at Davisville Station onboard a train. While that was being sorted out for about 10-15 minutes, SB trains bypassed Davisville via the 3rd platform

Considering that Yonge Street is misspelled as "Young St" on the 506C replacement bus, I wouldn't be too surprised.
