GORDOOM Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 28 minutes ago, Express691 said: Surrey literally hasn't gone a day without having 2 or 3 non-rapidbus artics running on the R1 and vice versa with the 18000s running on the 503. The only thing one can gauge out of this is for mileage balance. I see non-RapidBus units on the R1 all the time — such as 21005 today — but rarely do I see Surrey RapidBus units anywhere other than on the R1. I guess I just never see them?

I guess I just never see them? They tend to prioritize the 15000s for the 503 (and occasionally the 319), and the 18000 RapidBus units for the R1. However, the reason you see 15000 artics on the R1 more often compared to RapidBuses on the 503 is due to the fact that there are around twice as much artics on the R1 compared to the 503, thus requiring more demand. Losing an artic on the 503 is less of a problem compared to the R1. However, when it comes to 21005 and 21023, they tend to be treated like 15000s, on both the 503 and R1, with the occasional 319 appearance. Comparing the two, 21005 has made 6 503 appearances, two R1, and one 319 since the first of this month. 21023 has made thirteen 503 appearances, four R1 appearances (two of which becoming N19), and two 319 appearances since October 27th.

Its usually normal to have a rapidbus on the 503 Am peak but if its a all day block I would side its uncommon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Marriott Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Things got really bad between 6 and 7. There were buses stuck all over the region; looking at TComm almost no buses were moving this evening. The 20's were all stuck on the hill on the Victoria Diversion, 110/130/222's were all stuck on the hill on Willingdon heading south from Deer Lake Parkway, 345/502/503 were all sitting on 96 Ave between King George Blvd and Fraser Highway. Lots of buses were stuck on the hill from Joyce Stn up to Kingsway, so Translink issued a detour for the R4 via Vanness, Boundary and Kingsway and all the detoured buses promptly got stuck on those roads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDOOM Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Expo Line from King George running 13'0" headways at 05:30. That's less than half of the normal service. (For want of STAs to man the hostler controls, I'm guessing?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 The reason 319/301 around Scott/84-86-88-90 Avenue is super delayed is due to water main construction. 319s remained anywhere between 20 and 60 minutes behind schedule while the 301 is also experiencing delays (-20) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
