Additional unscheduled runs on 2/5/6/19 went out over the weekend, but appearances on the 23 were done on supervisors discretion. 18393 also appeared on the 23 on Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingPig Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Spotted what seemed to be a demonstrator BYD K9 (white with some branding on the side, destination sign marked "Electric Bus Demo") on the route of the 337 today (heading southbound on 160th Av between 108 and 104). Didn't get a picture but does anyone have an idea of what it might be doing in Surrey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDOOM Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Two four-car Mark I consists in a row on the Expo Line. (Didn't catch the numbers of the other cars, but 019-020 is on one end of the second train.) I know you still see short consists on the Expo occasionally, but two in a row? Is BCRTC short of working rolling stock right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busmanic92 Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 That's nothing new. Before the newer trains came in service, we even had train-to-main, shuttles during high capacity periods (like 2 car train shuttling helping out) Nothing new to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time there were this many 4-car mark 1s was November 2021 with all the mk3s sitting in the yard. At this rate they’ll need to run shuttles from Columbia to Surrey because by 8:30pm all the eastbound trains are still jam packed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDOOM Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Update: According to third-hand sources, the maintenance backlog at Edmonds OMC is massive right now, to the point where there's not enough cars to make book-out. They're running the Mark Is in four-car consists instead of cutting frequencies. (No word on how long it will last, and in particular whether it will be cleared up by next weekend when the Gateway switch replacement starts.)

Express691 Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Mk2 #317 is back in service. This train was involved in the derailment at Scott Road almost a year ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8800GTX Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Mark Is seem to be slowly returning to 6-car consists as of yesterday. I caught one in the eastbound direction yesterday evening around 7:00PM and the need for 6-car capacity became evident when train reached Columbia and immediately became full after loading the whole platform.

I've been trying to submit feedback on this but the website form keeps giving me errors I don't mind a few trains being switched to smaller 4-cars as long as most Mark I service is still provided by 6-car trains as is the case now. But if what we had on Friday of "all" of the Mark Is being switched to 4-car is true, then that's an actual cut in service that needs to be communicated to riders through Alerts at minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madog222 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 During today's afternoon rush on the Expo Line there was three or four six-car Mark I consists running, also a single four-car 200 series Mark II consist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a really sad day for me when all of these mk1's are officially gone from Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
