vivablue5215 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Is this the first D901 sightting on a weekend in a while? This is my first D901 sighting on a weekend for 2 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Classic 6247 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Is this the first D901 sightting on a weekend in a while? Its definately something that doesn't happen perhaps the least likely sightings for a weekend, one of those rare times where a D901 was actually chosen over a GM especially for a weekend. 6167 in particular I think seems to be Malvern's favourite, its definately been used outside of rush hour on more than one occaision ever since it came from Arrow Road. Considering it passed its inspections recently, perhaps a good contendor for one of the last D901s in service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the 27XX and 28XX retiring is it possible a few d901's may last until next year when more VII`s arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Ok, this may seem crazy, but it's true. 6167 on 39 Finch East today. Accessibility violation. 39 is accessible, making it even more weird. It's not rare to see a non-accessible buse during rush on that route, but never should one be on during a weekend.

The TTC has never made the guarantee of having 100% accessibility on the weekends which is pretty much why I think the "accessibility violations" thing is stupid, they haven't violated anything. If the TTC made the claim that their accessible routes will always be accessible then these "violations" make sense, but they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

502 Downtowner Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 0519 was in backwards mode today, the destination sign for 3E was backwards, with the letters not lit up and the rest of the screen orange. 5867 was travelling this morning with a red door barrier and the door open. I always thought the guard was supposed to close the door before putting the barrier on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a 58XX like that yesterday but the doors were closed, I thik it was 5872 IIRC. 7865 still wrapeed on 64 all day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, after all, nobody predicted any of the 20xx's or 2153 to last this long, and the D901's have already outlasted what we projected about two years ago when the old board was going.

Keep in mind that out of the 320 buses coming next year 100 of them are for fleet expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YRT-Guy Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Say hello to 617, debuting today on the 1. Yuppers. And 616 was out also but I'm not sure which route it was on. Perhaps someone saw it??? Also.. to me this seems special but perhaps someone could correct me... TTC Route 24-Victoria Park North/Woodbine had VII's 7829 & 7851 on tonight. I've only ever seen Classic's and D901 New Flyers and the odd Orion V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the 224 portion from Malvern uses almost always a D901 very rarely has Malvern used any other type of bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, a friend of mine saw an Orion V on the 224D branch towards the end of the afternoon rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get used to it because when Birchmount Division gets more VIIs (around 50 more) 24 will be a VII accessible route, but 224 won't since Malvern operates it.

Root Admin ORION Posted October 17, 2006 Root Admin Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 There was a TTC Orion V at Orion today (first time i've seen this). It was 712X. I didn't get the full number. It was parked on the west side of the building, beside a MTA Hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well just to follow this up, 2819 apparently was fixed but I'm guessing another problem occured since it was changed off at 12:35 for 2343. It was on Route 129 before it returned to Malvern.
