Ran that trip on Valentine's Day (). 4961 and 4963 were both back out this morning for their second day in service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hey there, Has anyone been recording the first dates of service for the new articulated buses? I notice that entries into service up to the end of December were put onto the Wiki page, but nothing since. It's been too long now to look back on Transit55 to get the full service history for the units currently in service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can dig up dates for some of them, but routes will be a little tougher especially now that they are all over the place with the modified service... in the past week they have been signed into blocks on T55 but diverted to the point that they end up on opposite ends of the city from where they are supposed to be! Looking at T55 right now... 4933 is supposed to be on a 9/50/130 block today but right now it is actually at Castle Downs as a route 128 4951 did not enter service until yesterday. According to T55 it did a single trip on route 119 before going onto route 2, but it is impossible to verify whether or not that actually happened January 3: 4940 & 4946. January 7: 4944 (15). Week of February 3-7: 4948, 4949. February 14: 4963 (100). February 26: 4950 (100), 4955 (15). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 4933, it is signed in to block 907, which is the 130, 50, 9 AM tripper. On Saturdays block 907 does one round trip on the 128, then a 162 to Eaux Claire's, then spends the rest of the day on the 9. So, if you want to know where the artics will show up when you look at the block, you also need to change the date to the nearest Saturday.

Didn't know you could do that seeing as the date option only appears on the block pages. Setting it to March 28th (next Saturday) seems to work. Worth noting that there are a lot of unlisted artics on driver training today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 This is not a T55 issue either I suspect. If you want to use Google for trip planning, you need to set it to a Saturday for it to work correctly, and even then, that might not capture some of the enhanced services. At least with T55 you can still track buses as long as they are signed in, but yes, it becomes a challenge if the bus is a floater and does a route, but never signs into a specific block. This will hopefully be fixed this Sunday with the new sign up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 4958 entered service today on this fine snowy Sunday: Bonus shots of 4946 which was MIA for just over a month prior to today: 4953, 4957, 4959, and 4966-67 are the only ones yet to show up on T55.

T6H-5307N Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 First day for 4957. Looks like a mixed run, but you could say it entered service on route 9 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
