6625 & 6626 are at Wilson. They are there for personnel to inspect them as they might be receiving some of those buses. They are also slated to receive XE40 NGs as well. Take this information by a grain of salt as this could change.

6630 is now at Wilson replacing 6626

EDIT 7:34p - 6623 has replaced 6625 at Wilson

If they are not planned for service, it's not consider a movement. I'm not going to update the Wilson "movements" either till we confirm Wilson are getting Nova LFSe+.

Are they allocated @Highway of Heroes or not? Those are likely buses are on a maintenance visit.

He doesn't know, he just sits on the tracker all day and reports movements.

From a source, the four LFSe+ are at McNicoll for training. I don't know if this implies any future movements to that division or not, given Mount Dennis and Wilson don't have any LFSe+ assigned yet.

3400 is at Wilson from Malvern

Beside spending the month of June at Malvern and 1810 Markham Rd, 3400 has been at Wilson since April except for the weeks it's been on display at other divisions. It's part of the new operator barrier demo fleet. After being on display at each garage it returns to Wilson. I believe Mt Dennis and Birchmount are left to see it and the rest of the fleet so don't expect it to be re-entering service anytime soon.

With the Novabus LFSe+ being delivered with the new barrier, I don’t think 3400 coming to Mt Dennis for a visit any time soon

The 4 barrier designs on 3400, 7000/7129, 7026 and your pick of 3300, 3330, 3601, 8400, 8700 & 8939 are all different from the ones found on 6600s.

@bus_7246 are there any changes coming up at Arrow? It would appear Arrow Road will likely unload some or maybe most Nova LFS Artics because the 36 will likely lose majority of its runs when Line 6 opens. It's likely the 927 and maybe 37A will take the artics taken from the 36.

Artics moving from the 36 to the 927 would not result in any vehicle movements, as both routes are already operated by the same division. Same goes for your hypothetical argument about artics on 37A (which I have seen or heard no proof of), if the 37 does move to be operated by Arrow division. Again, speculation at this point.

But for the November board, the 36 will continue to operate west of Finch West Station, and therefore will continue to require articulated buses assigned to it. So there cannot be any significant artic movements until after Line 6 opens.

I really don't know what kinda vehicles they'll operate on the 36C. It seems like the schedule is written for ebuses. There are 3 periods of shifts. The morning ones going from 6am-2pm, afternoon ones going from 11am-7pm or 10pm. All the runs beyond 10pm are operated by other routes like 52, 84, 96 or the eastern 36 branch. There are a total of 46 distinctive runs between the morning and afternoon periods. There is no way they can all be artics.

While I haven't taken a look at the GTFS data, it sounds like they effectively scheduled the 36C as if it were crewed by "RAD" buses, which means they are all generally garage-garage. This allows the runs (and drivers) to be pulled mid-board with minimal interruption to scheduling or driver crewing. The late-night runs interline from other routes so they can still operate the same following the opening of Line 6, again avoiding any mid-board schedule changes.

Some of the earlier morning run-ins could conceivably recycle buses that would get used again for the afternoon. But even now, not all runs on the 36 use artics so a mixture of 40 and 60 foot buses might end up happening regardless.

3649 is also tracking at Mt Dennis. I saw it heading up Industry St with another bus that currently at Hillcrest. If the LFS diesels see service, then we can consider them an official move, right?

3649 is parked in the maintenance chunk so I'd assume not a movement for it. 8963, 8964 appear to be parked in tracks.
