I've been using Tcomm for the past year & half just discovered the retirement page this evening. It's not there. A bit of T-Comm history: The retirement export dates back to around October 2012 (T-Comm was created around Christmas 2011 - hard to believe it's almost 5 years old), when some people (I think it was @Enviro 500 and @Citaro but correct me if my memory is wrong) wanted to find missing buses sent to FOH, storage or retirement. The retirement export was a quick creation to help them do that, but I never had time to get around to making it look nicer or more usable to integrate it as a part of the site. It's not anything secret or private; I am aware the link has been making its way around various sites. But it's just an ugly text file that's all.

Meraki Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Wasn't one of the efficiency recommendations "why do you have so many spare trolleys, you can just replace them with diesels when need be." Though this is now the first time VTC has had diesel artics to fill in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brando737 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Not sure if this block has been mentioned before, but there is an HTC run that does a round trip on the 130 to Kootenay loop before doing 106s. Today 14035 is on that run. First XN40 on the 130? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be as rare given the amount of XN40's arriving. I will assume that novas will stay priority, but definitely more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, If you want to see D40LFs on the 106 you are best off finding one on a Sunday as I know a few senior guys request them as for XN40s I doubt anyone will be requesting the use of them, I don't like them, other than the look and interior of them, I hate them, but that's a different story for another day.

Brando737 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 From what I've heard, Nova's will be the priority for all 106 blocks and the blocks that are all or mostly 106 will be prioritized over others to be nova. This includes trippers. With more XN40s coming into service, I've noticed they seem to shuffling them around all over. They've been on the 100 more frequently as well. I like the XNs, they are quiet and smooth. Drove 16001 today and it was much better than any 14000 I've driven, but that's probably just because it's new lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando737 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Now that's a layover lol. Not sure if this is a glitch with the site or a glitch on CMBC's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess they switched out the artic for this due to the snow tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormscape Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Looks like the last ever EB 190 is also an Orion V. Fitting end, I'd say. Will quite likely be the last ever Orion V downtown, barring exceptional circumstances. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this would count as a non electronic sighting, but I happened to be in the area around the time of that last 190 so I rode it for a bit. It was nearly empty and the driver didn't mind letting me off after a couple stops. Carved in the grime on most of the curb side of it was some interesting drawings, including a sketch of a bus, "555 lougheed stn" "thank you driver" and some other transit themed stuff. It felt like a quiet warm end to the 190 and its era. Unfortunately I only had a phone camera @ 2 percent so all I got was this potato shot after leaving it.
