You think TTC, who is running so scared of David Lepofsky it wouldn't put Presto balances on readers until the weight of ridicule got too much to bear, would just say "too bad so sad"? That's just it, I don't think that they will either. I think that they will continue to do what they've done in the past - bus bridges, special shuttles, etc. Honestly, I can see a point soon - likely once all 204 of the Flexities are delivered, or maybe after a couple more of the key stations are made accessible - where the TTC will argue that they are already meeting the regulations because the network is accessible. Just because it is the shortest or most direct possible route doesn't mean that it's the most efficient or most effective. 19 minutes ago, IRT_BMT_IND said: If the province does take over the subway I absolutely could see stations like Chester, Summerhill, and Glencairn being closed rather than making them accessible. I doubt Ford's cabinet would be super enthusiastic about spending millions of dollars making stations with low ridership accessible when they are focusing so heavily on spending cuts, especially in ridings the PCs will never win. The PC base certainty would't care, they could even spin it as making the subway faster for commuters from the suburbs. They better hurry up then, Chester is already underway.

Ford is a buffoon there is no doubt about that fact, but there is no way in hell that thought would even cross his mind. His IQ level would be basically nil if he ever came out with an idea like that. He would be way more likely to close down the Yonge-University loop on the premise that "downtown has enough subways", rather than closing down stations outside of the core because of accessibility concerns.

T3G Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 4011 is at Hillcrest. 4145 was in service on the 506 on New Year's eve. 4074 is on the 501. 4180 is at Hillcrest now. I presume this is not a good sign for an unrefurbed car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 1st I watch 4184 couple up the 4011 and pull it to the back of Russell. 4086 also followed under its own power.

T3G Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thanks for the correction. None of those units have been indicated as being in service since last night... proving that nothing can beat sightings with one's own eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this new board period, the ALRVs are supposed to be only trippers. I guess the data files haven't been updated to include these trippers.

So there's stuff missing from the data - particularly where there's been schedule changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3G Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 4187 and 4192 on 501 Once the current crop of MIA cars comes back or is retired as confirmed, there won't be any updates on the status of MIA cars for a while because NextBus oh-so graciously wiped cached vehicle locations a few days ago, so I won't know which units are MIA and which ones are not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
