Kobayashi Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 With construction of the new McNicoll bus garage, feel free to share photos and discuss the status about the TTC's newest garage/division slated to open next year. A few photos, coutersy of Buttcon In the January 2019 report, a master signup is slated to occur this year with a number of routes being shuffled around. Along with that, Julie Schram supplied a few photos of the garage under construction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drum118 Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Kind of late for this, as it been under construction since last year. They added the canopy steel at the south end sometime ago, but too lazy to shoot it going by the site, compare to when I last shot it where the steel was missing. Then, most of the building is wrap to keep the heat in. Wait tell the warm weather shows up and the wrapping remove to shoot it again. I expect the employees parking lot across the street will be done later this year. Getting close to opening day in 2020 or late 2019. You can find all the photos I shot here https://www.flickr.com/photos/drum118/albums/72157697068880714 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Walton Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 That's the 4th TTC garage in the former Scarborough, after Birchmount, Malvern, and (New) Eglinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Posted March 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Has anyone heard about the master signup this summer along with the route transfers? Cause I have been talking to a few Malvern ops last weekend that they are either getting the 102 MARKHAM RD and/or 169 HUNTINGWOOD when McNicoll begins operation next year since they are losing the 39/939/336-339 and 53/953/353. Can anyone like @Ultimate, @Bus_Medic, @leylandvictory2, @bus_7246, @T15111, or @Someguy3071 ratify, confirm or deny the rumors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows when it will happen, but it’s also been rumoured to correlate with the crosstown division transfers as well.

Bus_Medic Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I’m not in any way connected to, nor interested in operator sign ups, masters or route transfers. For the maintenance side, it appears the plan is to simply post the new positions like any other opening, and bid in the conventional fashion.

The 192 started with one bus on the route every 45 minutes. A second bus was added reducing the headway to 22'30". Deadheading 5-7 buses a day isn't feasible. The whole point was to use LF buses when Queensway didn't have any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
