Gsgeek540 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 4 hours ago, JK-from-YYC said: Seems a bunch of diesel Novas are moving to Spring Gardens. Yesterday 8121 and 8110 ran the AM 744 (normally an SG/SF run). I checked later and 8121 is marked SG on Transit55 and has done several SG blocks. 8108, 8170, 8173 and 8190 are also marked SG currently. 8190 and 8121 have done 3 SG blocks each, while 8173, 8170 and 8108 have done 2 each. Is it normal for CT to move Novas to SG in the winter or is this a unique thing? All returned as of this morning. They were transferred to Spring Gardens in error over the weekend.

Moved back this morning to Stoney. A number of mechanical issues have occured resulting shortages of buses and manpower to change off buses with mechanical issues. As a result, multiple blocks of work have received change off buses from other garages, just to keep service moving. The bus returns to where the block of work is scheduled to end and then it is up to fleet staff to ferry them back to the designated garage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to go ride it tomorrow. I start my bus trips in the afternoon. I'm not able to track it because the CAD is not working. I hope they fix the CAD soon.

An interesting fact about the 2003’s 04’s and first batch of 2005’s is how little they were used compared to 7921-7962 or 7981-8015. The 2004’s have less km’s on then then 8066-8095. This is due to the fact that sg was a Monday-Friday garage until 2008. Even then it only had about 60 runs on Saturday and 40 on Sunday. On top of that most of the work when they were brand new finished before 19:00 and went shuttle so they were only working 12-14 hours and only on weekdays. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
