Doppelkupplung Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Not really constructive or anything, but I must say the 220xx’s are very good looking units. Everything works (esp. frameless windows), and I like the placement of the rear desto board. Link to post Share on other sites
SMS Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 20 buses have been sidelined at GASH inside Garage 1 since the summer. I took the trouble to note these down: 20302 (VAD last signed 2 July 2020) 20407 20416 20403 20404 20413 20316 20308 20311 20409 20408 20417 20307 20412 20410 20405 20415 20320 20411 20418 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SMS Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Since last week Monday, routes 6, 13, 14, 19, 54, and 59 were transferred from galo to gash. Also, since last week Monday, route 8 - Metro Longueuil - chemin de Chambly - Promenades St Bruno has become a universally accessible line. As far as gash is concerned, it is a matter of time until all of their routes are accessible. Every bus parked in Garage 2 (Satellite) is accessible (series 2015, 2017, 2018, 2020). In Garage 1 (Grande-Allée), apart from the 2010 articulateds, there are the following series: 2013 (accessible), 2011 (unofficially accessible) and a handful of 2007 & 2008 buses. Once the second gens are gone, and the artics are retired once the REM opens, the RTL will be able to make several routes accessible at the drop of a hat! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There is not much room to put a Terminal there though with the Hydro Quebec site. They did construct a terminal just south of the current station that is being used by Route 500 for the Mascouche Shuttles, there are 4 bays in that temporary terminal set up in a portion of the Place Versailles parking lot.

Based on a MTQ video, they plan to use the last bit of green land next to the south entrance of the station to build the terminal Link to post Share on other sites

It is going to be hell in that area, more so than it already is. The city will need to adjust the traffic lights by a lot in order for this to be effective. I have personally waited 3-4 traffic lights getting out of the parking lot at radisson because the light on Du Trianon is so short and not synced with the lights when turning right on Sherbrooke. What often causes a delay in that specific spot is the light right after we turn right onto Sherbrooke at the other exit for the commuter parking lot and Provigo/Place Versailles. That light is red because both exits from the parking lot have the light at the same time, so the small space between those 2 lights fills up quickly and causes a jam. The city needs to make the light on Trianon North/South green at the same time the one of Sherbrooke eastbound only in order to releave the traffic that collects in that area.
