T3G Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 A TTC driver in the Toronto Transit FB group said that there are posted ALRV extras on the 511 for the June 23 board period. Of course, whether the cars actually end up running there is another question. We've all seen what just happened to 4221, and it looks like 4207 hasn't run in a few days either? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of June 23, the 501 between Neville and Humber is 100% low floor. Though I’m assuming since the 501L will still be CLRVs for a while longer, they won’t deadhead the CLRVs from Russell to Humber Loop so it’s still possible to ride a CLRV from Russell to Humber at certain times. So likely this will be the end of CLRVs at Neville Park In other news, 4001 has returned to service 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this isn't the end of the line for the car - I was personally hoping this one would be saved, being that it was the first one to run in service so many years ago. It seems to be at Leslie now. It went there with 4207 in front. Not sure if it went under it’s own power or was towed by 4207 Seems 4192 ran this morning, but not for long 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLRV4002 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 4208 at Russell with pole tied down 4204 and 4207 parked at the back, both still running I also spotted 4155 and 4165 escorting the Peter Witt down Queen to Leslie Barns.

Well, that's the claim. But as nfitz has corrected pointed out several times, there's the small matter of not having enough vehicles left over to operate the service. In fact, there's some concern that the 501L service will remain bustituted for the time being as well for the same reason. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 So why retire buses that can be used for bustitution if we are short. We could use them to fill the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Commission recently acquired a surplus rail yard/container terminal in the far west end from Canadian pacific. Its adequate to store vehicles securely until McNicoll division opens....if they were worth hanging on to, which they’re not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
