Tidom Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Good morning all, does anyone here know as to why the eastbound side of the platform at Scott Road station is taped off? Or why one of the Mk.2 Skytrains is covered in graffiti (was in a rush this morning and couldn't get the number, sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or why one of the Mk.2 Skytrains is covered in graffiti (was in a rush this morning and couldn't get the number, sorry). I'm at Scott Road Station right now and the eastbound tracks are closed off due to a switch problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja Bus Fan Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I must say I had a quite interesting commute coming back home on the 319 tonight.First off 7454 was having mechanical issues starting up with caused the bus to be late, which resulted in a pretty huge line up. Secondly because of the first issue, the bus short turned at Scottsdale Exch which created some angry people who wanted to continue past Scottsdale. And lastly there was a fight / argument on the bus which caused the driver to pull over for about 6 minutes until it settled down. I heard people arguing at the back of the bus but I didn't pay too much attention to them, but what caught my attention was a few punches being thrown and a dude saying hes gonna stab the other guy with a pen. Unlike in the other fight video on my channel, this one isn't as physical, but still pretty interesting to watch. My favorite part would be at 6:00 when the guy who apparently caused the fight accused the other guy for making the bus late. Everyone on the bus had a good chuckle at that moment. But for real tho, when he got off the bus I thought they were going to scrap it out at the bus stop. That didn't happen but maybe one day I'll see something like this again.Sorry for the vertical filming, I kinda got caught up in the moment again :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bus Fan Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I am surprised that TransLink didn't not take fare saver and convert them Compass Card with this problem it seems like perfect time to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bus Fan Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 When I was on the Expo Line today the Mark Is were sounding different, like on Millennium line, between Stadium Chinatown Station and Mainstreet Science Stations, I believe this because of rail grinding.

Millennium2002 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Canada Line signage at Waterfront Station has been modified somewhat... And in a fashion I can't describe well in words. Let's just say there's more directions than there was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 What is tail? If it's when you get off the bridge I have seen trains stored their and at a Waterfront Platform. I assumed we were talking about the Canada Line platform at Waterfront station. The tail is the bit of track that extends past the platforms to the end of the tunnel. If they store a maintenance vehicle in one of the tails they leave the platform on the same side empty, and all trains use the other platform.

Marlow1331 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Can you elaborate on the "forbidden" part? There were 2 codes that operators were forbidden to use when assigning the destination sign, one of which caused the sign to say "Not In Service.. b**ch" but I'm unaware of the other one, just curious, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
