ttc rider Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 To recap: The purpose of the list above is to capture ALL of the T1 cars ever in service on Sheppard. Since OPTO is coming to Line 4 Sheppard on Sun, Oct. 9, there is one more day to update this list before the T1's are relegated solely to Line 2 Bloor-Danforth for good. In the list, the pairs in black were spotted by myself between Nov. 2002 and 22 Jul. 2016. I have a strong confidence (as in 100% convinced) that particular part of the list is correct. The pairs in red were never seen by myself on line 4 Sheppard, but were spotted by other members of the forum since 22 July 2016. So last chance guys: take a good hard look at the list in the previous message and reply here if you recall with certainty that you have ridden and/or spotted a pair NOT included in it either on line 4 and/or at Davisville yard (which is where the Sheppard line change-offs are handled from) at some point in the last 3 months, specifically between July 22 and present. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viva5113 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 All T1s that I mention above is sitting at Davisville today. It looks like because some portion of line2 is closed so train can't moving along bay lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc rider Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks. Keep an eye out in the next few days to see if any T1's pop up on Sheppard. That would be the ultimate sh*t show as far as "saving" money with OPTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc rider Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thank you all. So are there any T1's still being held at Davisville as spares in case something goes amiss with the OPTO-enabled TR's on Sheppard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTC5327 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 There are 8 cars still at Davisville 4 pairs. The cars are 5198-5199 and 5288-5289. I'm not sure of the other 2 pairs as 1 was in the shed and the other was blocked off by other trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc rider Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Thank you for the update. It makes sense to keep a few T1's at Davisville as back-up until all six four-car trains for line 4 are delivered and commissioned. If you see any T1's being deployed in regular service on the Sheppard line, please post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-717 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Spotted at least 2 4-car T1 sets at Davisville, unfortunately don't remember the #'s but I do remember 5162/5163 coupled to another pair which I believe was one of the 519X. Interestingly, I've noticed 5162/5163 has an orange LED sign installed at one of the side windows which read "Line 1 to Downsview", I'll try to get a pic next time I see it. Edit: the set is (5163/5162)+(5108/5109). Edited October 17, 2016 by D. Jacenkovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDE Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Sorry to re-hash an old topic. 5000-5001 along with 5330-5331 was likely (although unconfirmed) on Sheppard on Friday, as I spotted it on Track 3 at Davisville in the evening. The shocking thing is to me, is that there hasn't been a sighting that has been up there anywhere in this forum when I took a search, although I'm sure 5000-5001 have been up in the line countless times over the 14+ years. Hopefully it's still up there or as a backup for the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update. Also on Friday afternoon, TR set 6171-6172-6175-6176 was parked just outside of Davisville carhouse on track 7 (even though the spare TR set is now normally stored in the tail-tracks at Sheppard-Yonge), so perhaps that explains why they had to send a T1 up there. Maybe someone can confirm if a T1 was in fact in service on Sheppard last Friday. What I can state with certainty is that by Sunday (Jan 15) Sheppard was again TR's only, including the back-up train in the Sheppard-Yonge tail-track.

I can guarantee that pair 5000-5001 was NEVER in service on Sheppard between the time the line opened (in Nov. 2002) and July 2016. As an almost daily user of the line during all that time, I am absolutely positive about it. All pairs in the range 5000 to 5129 had been allocated to Greenwood by January 2002, so they were essentially confined to the BD line long before the Sheppard line opened and even before testing began (which was in February 2002 IIRC). In fact, except for pair 5106-5107 (which somehow made it onto Sheppard for a couple of weeks in February 2015), no T1 below 5130 was in service on Sheppard before May 2015. That's when the T1's were completely off of the YUS, and they began doing periodic swaps of equipment between Greenwood and Davisville to keep some T1's at Davisville readily available as change-offs for Sheppard. I cannot say anything about the period after mid-July 2016, as I have not been on Sheppard at all until last month, so I can only go by the sightings in this forum, but pair 5000-5001 was never reported in service on Sheppard during that 3-month window between mid-July 2016 and early October 2016 when OPTO began . Otherwise I would have included in the list at the top of this page. Perhaps that's when you saw it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure you would have added here it had it been up there, I was just more sure that it would have been there based on all the shifting from time to time. Then the odd special sighting out of nowhere. Side note, I have been passing by Davisville quite often lately, have not seen those two pairs, but 5004-5005 have been sitting outside on Track 6(?) for about a week now with a few more T1's inside the carhouse, where I'm completely unable to see the unit numbers from the mainline. So I'm not sure if 5000-5001 cars are still there as backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4 5600 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 6 car T1 was spotted nis by my friend today sb at st clair stn around 4:30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc rider Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 They still keep three of four T1 pairs at Davisville at all times, probably due to lack of space at Greenwood, and they rotate them to and from Greenwood on a regular basis. They are not used for service on Sheppard, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7749 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 They are also right now changing most T1 chimes that are low-tuned or high-pitched from what I am noticing. Only a few with almost proper-tuned chimes have been changed: ex. 5356/7 ALSO: 5370/1 might be getting them, not quite sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
