leylandvictory2 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 The alert system says to activate it in the case of harassment, vandalism, injury or illness. Does this mean if I see a guy cutting the seats i should push it? use your professional judgement. It is hard to say. It depends on the situation. What I mean is if you activiate the alarm, will you substain an injury or death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38 Highland Creek Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 from cbc.ca Signal problems at Union Station forced the TTC to shut down part of its subway service for more than an hour Thursday during rush hour. Thousands of commuters scrambled to find ways to get home as all service on the Yonge-University subway line south of Bloor station was shut down around 4:20 p.m. Dozens of shuttle buses were deployed to transport passengers. The problem was fixed a little over an hour later and service resumed. There was a similar story about that problem on 102.1 The Edge but it was a shortened version announced by Adwoa (sorry, I could only pronounce the first name). She said the signals on the Y-U-S line BW between St. George and Bloor weren't working. Mostly they were stuck on red and refused to change.

billy416 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 the updated story on the cbc site today said that it was a power failure in the lower YUS portion. they claim that the entire shutdown of the YUS line was precaution over the reliability of the entire signal system. it would explain the stop and go process of trains north of bloor/danforth after the "all clear" and the amount of radio chatter i could hear coming from one of the driver cabs.

LF60 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 It wouldn't have any passengers since the Yonge-University-Spadina Line would be one block away from it on each side and would take the ridership away. YUS is already very crowded, I certainly would rather take a less busy bay line over YUS. plus if you design it correctly and avoid spots like wellsley, you can have it much quicker then its neighbours.

Does this mean if I see a guy cutting the seats i should push it? Does'nt that fall under vandalism? Of course you can push it, ....if you want to get involved that is.

Articulated Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Does'nt that fall under vandalism? Of course you can push it, ....if you want to get involved that is. And if you also want the wrath of the few thousand commuters that would be held up because of you stopping the train... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the same time (3:45pm), there was no subway service between St.Clair West Stn. and Wilson Stn. due to signal problems. Shuttle buses still running between the two stations last time I checked, which was around 4:50pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
