Michael Marriott Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 5 minutes ago, Marlow1331 said: Well how about keep an eye out for V2504 during its next run as an 8, and see if the sigh says Waterfront again, I'm unsure if there is an alternate code or not, if there is, it may be operator preference, as most probably don't know it, or whatever,. Anyways, point being, it could be possible that 2504 has been reprogrammed anticipating the new sheet coming quite shortly, meaning all units at some point could be changed. Just my speculation, I agree, the terminus should be more precise, I understand the idea of "Downtown", whatever, but then I think about those who board a 106 bound for New West at Kingsway & Gilley, asking if it's going to Meteotown, what does the sign say? They have no clue. So with that being said, I question if any sign works at all. The "8 Waterfront Station" is an alternate code that the driver can put up. I believe it's a relic of the time when the 8 went all the way to Robson and Seymour, and the Waterfront Station exposure would be if it was late and short turning on its current loop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marriott Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 12010 on the 3 Main tonight. This (along with 12024 being on the 20) is the first time VTC has put the XDE60's on a route other than the 49. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's seems like this is going to be a regular occurrence for quite some time now. But if he saw it in person, then by all means I guess it at least goes in the general sightings thread. I would think that this would be a seldom occurence. It's on and off just like (I think) Summer 2015 with the un-constant and random D40LF on a 601 block on the evening peak.

Is this possibly the first of the 2016 deliveries? Maybe it should be in the artic-procurement thread? Anyway, if so, it's great news! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was towed in around 1400, saw it heading over the Queensborough when I was heading to 22nd so I wasn't able to get a unit number. P3337 and P3357 were driven in at about 2200. My guess is they will be fixing them at PTC and HTC to get them on the road quicker. Or on the extreme possibility, they are transferring them to HTC for whatever reason to be repaired then operate from HTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly out of alignment would be a better description. With enough space, backing up would solve the problem. To me, jackknifing indicates that the front unit and rear unit are at an acute angle, like a folding knife only partial open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been cycling them through the shops one or two at a time. There are still at least seven or eight parked on track 25, and there may be a few more parked out behind the shops.

I looked into this. There are 2 blocks on the 301 line for Saturday which the Orion's got booked onto and both blocks do "local" service before doing the 301 in the afternoon. For the morning, some 312 blocks do the 301. Sunday will be the same situation, but with only 1 301 block that only does 2 trips on the 301 for it's entire day. Other 301s are done by 320 blocks. Either they will keep booking out Orion's on those blocks or just book out flyers which would mean weekend 301s will no longer have any Orion service. Service optimisation at work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the sound of that at all, especially since I take that line over line 319 due to constant overcrowding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
