Vancouver general sightings and notes


Enviro 500

Recommended Posts

Even though the parade has finished, the diesels have been booked on that index either way, so expect to see them until the end of the day. I'm sure Translink doesn't want another "Trolley gets stuck in the middle of Broadway after a failed u-turn" kind of thing on the media again.

where can I find the trolley stuck in the middle of Broadway?

Transit Alerts has a detour for the route 6 for Sunday Apr. 26 from 0600-1800hrs. What is happening ? Crane assembly or something ??? I really wish they would put the reason in with the alert notification.

It says "Construction at Davie and Howe" according to the alerts page...

P14015 on 555 heading eb

Saw another headed wb, is this normal?

Pulled the list of XN40s ever seen on the #555 from T-Comm. Seems to be a more common occurrence now.

And the XN40 only appear during peak periods too. Is peak periods that bad on the 555 to require 5 buses and least one is a low floor bus?

Trust me, it is. Don't really take it anymore as I drive, but a lot of SFU and UBC bound students prefer the 555->short skytrain ride->145 or 84 over taking the jam packed Expo Line (and #99). Also, most riders that used to take the 509/590 have opted to take the 555.

Wait for the 555 stop at 156th St between 7-9am. Wait for the 555 at Braid during afternoons between 4-7pm. Usually common to see the 555 skipping by the 156th stop in the morning.

Either it took me a while to notice or something but it looks like they have placed maps and informtion on the 96 B-line stops in Surrey.

That is good and it seems like ridership is now on the 96 B-line.

I have also notice that 555 has no low floor trips since the last service change.
