2019 Garage Transfers

[dover5949]

Since 2019 is less then 8 hours away I thought I would get the 2019 Garage Transfers topic ready.

[SkyTrain]

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?

Because some people like to see their handles out there with the various "official" and "2019" threads...

This time it makes sense not to have the "storage reactivations" part since everything is getting retired.

I myself like to look back year to year of what was transferred between depots. Almost like keeping a paper trail.

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.

9563, 9566 to RTC

[Phillip]

I had 9563 on the 311 this afternoon, still had a V prefix. I was getting messages from tcomm that was for VTC operators 😀

[ThatBusGuy]

9549 also at RTC today

[MCW Metrobus]

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.)

8076 returns to RTC

[cleowin]

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?

[ThomasW97]

8069 the latest to return to RTC

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.

Perhaps BTC is swapping D60LFRs with PTC's D60LFs? Just a guess.

[dover5949]

I agree also Thomas. This just makes no sense at all. Don't be surprised if you see this one transferred out again. 

[Express691]

9482 is now in Hamilton

9534 HTC

9527 HTC
