My guess is that there were more buses on the production line then anticipated, which caused a backlog. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrazsteve Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Great to hear the 10 bus option is getting delivered. 1 hour ago, Chris W said: My guess is that there were more buses on the production line then anticipated, which caused a backlog. They could have delayed this option to add the 5 extra buses to it. Maybe 3720-3724 would follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC4120fan Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Just saw 3731 in the middle of a group of OG hybrids on their way to service from Weston from Rogers to St Clair heading to Service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrazsteve Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Seems like 3728 is tracking on Weston Rd too. So there will be 4. NVM, it went west on St Clair. Maybe testing be they don't usually do it in rush hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dowlingm Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 I have occasionally wondered if TTC should have the concept of "seasonal vehicles", where CLRVs and e-buses could run through the milder parts of the year and Flexities and diesel burners handle the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I like this idea. Â I like it a lot. Â That would be a throwback to pre-1921 times over a hundred years ago back before the TTC existed. Â Some street railway companies did have summer and winter fleets where the opposite season's fleet would be parked during it's off season half of the year. Â Others had summer and winter carbodies where they'd drop the summer open body on a set of trucks and then lift it off and drop a fully enclosed winter carbody on in the fall and it'd be changed out again in the next winter's spring. Â With the way what's old is new again, the idea's got some merit. Â Think of how it would play to all those 'retro' hipsters that don't know that we never called records "vinyl" back in the day and film photography wasn't "hard", it was the only way to take a picture. 2 hours ago, smallspy said: And where would you store those massive fleets of vehicles that are only needed for 6 months of the year? Â Dan My suggestion, to properly capture the century plus old aspect of the idea of a summer and winter fleet of streetcars, would be to demolish a few condo buildings and build an accurate reproduction of a Toronto Railway Company carhouse from the original drawings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter is a bit tricky, will have to think about that. Was thinking just use artificial cooling to create a thicker harbour ice layer and just use towing cables to slide them into place, but the pesky environmentalists would complain about tiny leaks of lubricant and stuff.

I'm surprised that you didn't think of simply stacking them up on each other like cordwood.  Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
