Nothing specifically blocks them from running any. I see. Makes sense. Nova LFS Diesel and Nova LFS HEVs do share alot of similar characteristics (so probably won't take much to onboard those techs vs. training someone brand new) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All must pass it before ascending to the roof of any hybrid, and can be accomplished in a couple of days. Most of the guys there bid in from other divisions for better shifts/off days and already have it. The essence of it is how not to electrocute yourself, and which mistakes lead to open casket Vs closed casket funerals (proper PPE) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3G Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 The holidays are a time of reduced service, you wouldn't see every bus out in service anyway. If some of these buses have higher mileage than others this time is perfect to set them aside and even out the mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only basing this cause 3502, 3506, 3509 moved so it seems like they will but just a matter of when i suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3G Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 I know what you asked. But you based your question on the fact that some of the buses have not moved in all of two days. This is not significant and happens all the time. Sundays are when the least amount of buses run, there is no reason to assume you'd see anywhere close to the entire fleet out. Not to mention, during the holidays they probably have less personnel as more people are taking vacations, so they have less people they can assign to frivolous duties like bus movements. Given the TTC appears to have made every effort to keep the LFSes organized by fleet number, it seems credible to assume the rest will move to Malvern in due course. Also, wrong thread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in a way yes and no, generally it's also a sign buses are being moved from Malvern. Last time, Orion NGs moved in exchange for the LFS HEVs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the physical location 1378 had not moved until earlier in week. Planned movements haven’t superseded actual movements in the past. 1359’s location isn’t even properly pinging since the bus got pushed north of the wall earlier in the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying this because I've seen a Arrow op via his social media one time go to recertification courses using equipment from Wilson one time (such as a Orion VII 3G). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then why are wilson ops being currently trained on operating lfs hybrids? We had them for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 6 minutes ago, Toro said: If that's the case then why are wilson ops being currently trained on operating lfs hybrids? We had them for 3 years. Yes, but the LFS HEV have only been based at 2 of the 8 bus garages. Meaning the 75% of operators that are not based out of Arrow or Malvern don't get them. The short duration of their time at TTC means that any operator that was hired more than 4 years ago would have never received training on LFS HEVs unless they were based at the two divisions containing them (driver movements between divisions are not super common). So any Wilson ops who joined the TTC more than 4 years ago will need to be trained. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, but wouldn't also mean any arrow op who came after summer 2019 might not know how to operate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
