GORDOOM Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 (Commercial-Broadway, Expo Line inbound bay platform) These are the plates that go between the running rails and the reaction rail on the original Expo Line. Are they being removed temporarily for other work, or is BCRTC getting rid of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not board this train. This train is not in service." Silliest thing I have ever heard from a mk2.5 - confused people stepped onboard and got back on the platform after hearing it. Go Home Mk2.5, you're drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your job was to pick up people, not drive past them. The only time one saw NIS on the sign, there was a mechanic driving it. Sadly we have strayed from that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are times when this makes sense and there are times when it doesn’t. When HTC first opened, it had 410s terminating at Boundary Road (just outside the depot) and it made no sense because there is nothing there… not even a proper sidewalk, and people would be forced to wait for the next bus anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. This was mostly rigidly applied to first few buses out and last few buses in to ensure passenger safety and no one got stranded. However most drivers back in the day did this just because it was good customer service to accommodate all passengers. If it looked like someone was going to be a troublemaker there would be no hesitation to sail on right past them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
