That's the last time I rode one on it at least. I really hope I'll get to ride one tomorrow on the 100. Of course, an XN40 would be just as good XD Anything that's not a Nova, really >_> I got 7226 on it last week when it was running out of VTC. It was rather fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormscape Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 D40LFs on the 123? What a beaut. I've missed those buses on the 123. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleowin Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I just rode 3297. What a good day. Operator said that if richmond has shortages, they can pull busses back from HTC. 39 minutes ago, Stormscape said: D40LFs on the 123? What a beaut. I've missed those buses on the 123. Enjoy it while it lasts. I think the 9 cummins could stay, but the rest will be gone within the next few months imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 K so tcomm has all the blocks uploaded. Appears that for at least weekends, 101, 104, 128, 155, 410 will be HEV work. 430 is for the most part separate and buses don't interline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleowin Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Why keep it separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium2002 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I speculate that it's just early days... IIRC the 430 was interlined with some Richmond runs, and with this giant re-shuffle they might have just kept the existing timings in place for now. Perhaps in the new year it'll be interlined with some other Hamilton runs instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando737 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Both the 100 and 430 aren't interlined for the most part. A few blocks may have all 100 in the AM then for the rest of the day do other runs from 22nd STN. Some runs will also do the opposite, 100 in the PM. Same applies to the 430. I think this is only for the weekday though, not sure. My work on Monday & Tuesday is a 110 special then NIS to SFU for a 144 then a round trip on the 106 then two round trips on the 430 and a last 430 to Richmond then NIS to the depot. My work on Thanksgiving is three round trips on the 430 then a 110 to lougheed and NIS into the depot. Just a few examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Richmond terminus\layover spot was the same, Park Rd. & Buswell Eastbound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brando737 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 100 is completely HEV at this time (0635), but in the afternoon 1 or 2 of those buses may switch to other routes at 22nd Stn and buses that have been doing everything else may switch to the 100 as well. Some paddles are like that. As for everything else, it looks to be all mixed with everything all over the place. Curious if yesterday was a one off event of HEV running the "22nd stn hub" and the flyers running around Burnaby/New West or if that's how it could be on weekends/holidays and during the week all mixed up.

Express691 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 410 is all HEV. The XN40 are there for trippers for the most part. The new 590 is a shuttle. Knew this would happen. A (480, 604) block exists, 604 in the AM then 480 until end of pm peak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brzyski Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Apparently #480 gets much less artics on it, which is great. Besides I have higher chances to take a new XD40 at UBC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mix of buses is funny and enjoyable, but can you imagine the trepidation of passengers at Marpole Loop now that their boarding procedure is interrupted? 100's showing up from seemingly random directions a minute before departure on many trips makes even operators nervous about whether their bus is going to come.

Goes to do 43's after. I've done that trip before. 15:09 out of Dunbar Loop. It's a school tripper, effectively, but you used to get 3 minutes at Joyce and then turn right around as a westbound 41 again. Every time I did that particular block, I was alright on the first trip, and then for the rest of the day I'd be running -20 to -25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
