SkyTrain Report post Posted January 1 Why do we have to keep renewing the garage transfer thread every year? Is there any point in this other than "tradition"? Why can't we just have a permanent garage transfer thread? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Express691 Report post Posted January 1 This time it makes sense not to have the "storage reactivations" part since everything is getting retired. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I myself like to look back year to year of what was transferred between depots. Almost like keeping a paper trail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but you can still do that in a single amalgamated thread accounting for all years. I also doubt anyone looks back to see what moved where and when past the present year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MCW Metrobus Report post Posted January 4 7192, 7197, 7215 and 7287 have officially joined the Training Department fleet at VTC. I already suspected the first 3 but hadn't yet confirmed the fourth. There is one more D40LF destined for this fleet in the coming weeks. (No, I don't know which one.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleowin Report post Posted January 9 It must be a game for RTC drivers, most probably hope for a NFI bus every day and cringe when they get a Nova... unless its suburban? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thomasw Report post Posted January 14 1 hour ago, SkyTrain said: 8048 to BTC But why? Shouldn’t BTC be sending their D60LFs to other transit centres and putting those ugly new XDE60s in service, not receiving D60LFs from other garages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps BTC is swapping D60LFRs with PTC's D60LFs? Just a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dover5949 Report post Posted January 14 I agree also Thomas. This just makes no sense at all. Don't be surprised if you see this one transferred out again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
