Express691 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Run 44/601 is a designated New Flyer run. We always saw the occasional XD40/D40LF on highway runs but looks like it's always been this one run these past few sheets. Don't know if other 601 blocks are consistently assigned Low Floors. 16134 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that was kind of interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are starting to use it for public messages such as SkyTrain down or like this for stops being closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising...GO Transit and Durham Region Transit in the GTA both use their INITs like this. Not sure about YRT...probably so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They removed the barrier on 16140 due to 16140 having a different barrier than the one that was chosen (the barrier on 16101). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFP out for a feasibility study for OMC, apparently they're looking to optimize space at OMC in order to accomodate the expansions that will happen throughout the next 10 years.

Express691 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 T/L alerts page, Heads up for Sunday the 24th: Quote From the start of service until 3pm, Expo Line trains will use one track in both directions at Main Street–Science World and Commercial-Broadway stations. All Expo Line trains will operate between Waterfront and King George stations. Expo service to Sapperton, Braid, Lougheed Town Centre and Production Way-University will be replaced with trains operating between New Westminster and VCC-Clark. Passengers from other stations on the Expo Line can change trains to this service at Commercial – Broadway, New Westminster and Columbia stations. Expo Line passengers should allow for 15-20 minutes extra travel time. Millennium Line will operate normally and Canada Line is unaffected by this work. TLDR: Single tracking between main/Bway until 3pm, Special service between New West and VCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormscape Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 In case any of you were wondering, 9258 is still lacking the next stop display since it was last brought up a year ago. Announces the stops though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleet overhaul, that thing has been out of service for a while. I know that FOH test drives sometimes go up to SFU and/or along Lougheed in both directions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
