They don't even have enough running CLRV's now to run along the Flexity's on Queen? The past two weeks have had alot of replacement buses, must be some shortage, either operator or shortage of cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason that the Queensway buses have been on Queen or other streetcar route as of this board is because of the dual mode Run As Directed (RAD) crews that were created starting this board. Only the 79xxs that didn’t receive vision will be utilized as the RAD buses on streetcar lines. If other buses do show up on the streetcar lines (ie, Eglinton & Queensway buses on the 506 during weekday am peak service) they are most likely scheduled runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK78 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 You're right they were 7900's that I saw. A rare sight in the east end now to see an Orion OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In prior months I had seen hybrids and Novas out on the east side of the 501. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soo8513 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Was by Russell this morning and noticed a few ALRVs in the three most westerly storage tracks with their headlights on. Is there a reason for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Lubinski Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 19 hours ago, PCC Guy said: If there is a list out there, I haven't been able to find it. It also doesn't help that it seems like some of the cars that used to have 2+2 seating lost it over this decade, for example 4041 had 2+2 seating when I rode it in 2012 but by 2016 it was 2+1. That being said, I know of: 4001-4004 (4000 was the only SIG unit to lose the double seating), 4110, and 4182. I believe 4057 is one of them too but I'm not 100% on that. This was what I had from personal observation, never saw any official lists. I compiled this in 2014-2015 before retirements started so it should be pretty complete. There should still be about 18 out there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jor Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 I'm trying to contemplate which clrv's have the old number font on the front of the car. This is my list so far: 4004, 4117, 4180 4069 and 4089 have weird number font that is different from the old font and new font. Have you found any others? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I saw this car was at Hillcrest missing a few windows. The rear numbers were bolded. 4028 and 4080 before it was rebuilt had different front numbers, presumably from accidents. 4046 and 4029 I think had rear bolded numbers as well. 4000 and 4238 had white numbers on the rear near their rear lights. There were several other units that have rear numbers above the rollsign that have or had them including 4012 4024 406x 407x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it on the 501 at Park Lawn and Lakeshore. There were 2 cars in front of it that hit each other, it seemed like they were going opposite directions too close to the center line. I thought they didn’t hit 4003 since when I checked the tracker it still ran for hours after that. I’m thinking they possibly ran it for a few hours with a damaged front skirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
