I know 4178 is a rad car and always gets put on the 506 and then the 511 right after from Monday to Friday. Judging by where it's parked, that is likely, but as of right now it is not out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLRV4094 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Looks like there is 9 or 10 CLRVs tracking on 511 (4164 is tracking in the lake), but 4040, 4085, 4110, 4123, 4133, 4170, 4176, 4179 and 4184 are tracking as 511s properly along with 3 Flexities as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Lubinski Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 6 hours ago, christine said: My blurb was more directed towards the hypothetical scenario of the TTC not doing anything. Considering I thought Queen was done back in June, the Queen extras were definitely an unexpected bonus. Like when they pulled all the PCCs in early November 1995 and said they were done, with only an announcement that they were being retired, and they were already all parked. A few calls to Commissioners got them put back on the road with a formal send off and six cars in regular service for the last week. Until then most vehicles were retired with no announcement, no publicity, no last run, you just had to be lucky to be out for the day of the last run because you didn't know when it was coming and you might be on it or miss it, so the CLRV retirement publicity has at least given a lot more opportunities for photos and last rides. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you say “Gloucester cars”? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wayside Observer Posted December 23, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 I took my own advice to enjoy the VLRVs this week last night after a family Christmas get together and took a couple of quiet rides on Bathurst. I did it the old fashioned way, the way I used to do it when I was out hunting for PCCs and Gloucesters. Just me, by myself at a subway station or a street corner after dark on a short fall/winter day, an educated guess where to be and a wait for the right vehicle to show up before getting on and going for a ride. No smartphone. No app. No website. Just a quiet, peaceful evening. Just like how I used to do it when the other fleets turned over. There was a family with a kid at the Exhibition and a mixture of low floor cars and the one CLRV waiting to go back up to Bathurst station. They got on the first Bathurst car which was a low floor car and I thought if that was me at that age and I saw the next car was an old one, I’d be insisting on falling back a car. It’s a shame they didn’t take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself since the chance to do that ends in less than a week now. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTC4120fan Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 After taking up much of my evening and many difficulties, I have finally managed to update the wiki to the current units still active. Please let me know if I have missed anything. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DepthOfField Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Random Q - When streetcars have completed their run for the day, and heading back to the carhouse, do they remain in revenue service? or do they go out of service? I'm asking because I was on Bathurst the other day, and Saw a 512 St Clair driving south (presumably towards roncesvalles). It had the 512 sign, but wasn't sure if they take passengers on the way or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there's a mechanical or hygienic issue necessitating that the car is not in service, they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLRV4094 Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Any bets for the last car in revenue service? I place 4040 high on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed T. Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I went out Saturday and had a nice long ride (to a non-productive visit to a bank in the Beach(es)) on a couple of CLRVs. I take it from the comments that none (or very few) were out on Sunday, and that there's no prospect of them being out next Saturday on Queen? So now we're down to CLRVs providing partial service on Bathurst, with a wandering 4178. Is there any pattern to 4178, or is it randomly running on Carlton?
