Busmanic92 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 18 hours ago, Transitfan2022 said: Nope, 2025/6 they will That is correct. 2025 work on the upgrades (which started September 2023) will be completed. But they still could run it right now IF another garage can store the buses for the 555. Which they won't. So yes. Pctc WILL next year or no later then 2026 run 555 once again. They gave it to RTC because rtc is the only garage which can handle DD (double Deckers) currently. And they wanted to introduce DD to the 555.

Express691 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 For those keeping an eye on block numbering: As of this sheet, the 320 line group M-F is exclusively stuff that goes in and out the yard. Alternatively, the 312 line group is 90% stuff that stays out all day. 10 years ago the STC linegroups for 40ft buses had some familiarity. 320 did all the Langley stuff, 321 was usually Newton work (and SoF routes that don’t touch SkyTrain), and 312 was usually an indicator of Delta-Scott Road stuff.

Technically, everything goes in and out of the yard. Jokes aside, 320 line group is mostly AM and PM trippers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transit Guy Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 King George Station is closing from April 27 to mid-June for maintenance and upgrades. King George-bound trains will terminate at Surrey Central. A bus bridge will operate every 15 minutes during weekday AM peak (6am-9am) only, unless it’s a typo. 345, 394 and 395 will temporarily be extended to Surrey Central. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Out of the blue: Switch machine replacement in the downtown area on the Expo Line: https://buzzer.translink.ca/2024/03/track-maintenance-to-reduce-expo-line-service-in-downtown-vancouver-on-mar-30 How this will work: Trains to cycle 4 at a time: to waterfront, Burrard, Granville, stadium. Then Stadium to Braid, Granville to King George, Burrard to Production, then waterfront to King George. There will be a whitecaps game that day. Also lucky how the Canucks last game of the week is the Thursday (tomorrow). With playoffs on the horizon next month let’s see how this will play out.

It looks like there will be a reduction of 2 trains per hour on each branch, with mainline service at 16 trains per hour (down from 20) which should come out to every 3.75 min, although the article nitty gritty says to expect 5 minutes between trains on the mainline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the 23: we’ve had really good weather earlier into March in recent years; I hope they can still do something before the sheet changes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transit app even doesn't show that stop anymore for the 301. But it is an express bus so maybe that's due to the 319/R6 going the same way.

Express691 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I think they just moved it to the new stop: on paper it's 128 st EB (shared with 319/322/r6) but in practice it's more 12700 block 72 avenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
