yrt+viva=1system Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Rode 5401 northbound from Bloor at 11am. I have to say that I preferred todays trip more than my other trips, but then again this wasn't rush hour. I also tried out the flip-up seats, they are the most uncomfortable seats on the TTC. Much worst than the well used seats found on Newlooks in my opinion. From my observation of a partially full train, it's too bad that there aren't any stanchions as there are areas that lack 'within reach' bars. One area is space just in front of the LED station display.
63 Ossington Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 541X on run 120 this morning NB st SCW around 9:45.
yrt+viva=1system Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Rode 5406 and 5416. 5416 has quite a lot of problems with opening and closing doors.
wil9402 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 5431-36 on 197 doing a training run northbound at Dundas just after 10am today.
bus_7246 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 548* set being shuntted around the yard early morning.
D. DeLarge Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 TTC 5451 and 5441 were running one after the other this evening. I find that the doors on some sets close while the chimes are going off. Is this the new way it's going to be or just a bug?
63 Ossington Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Just missed 543X this morning just before 10 AM SB at SCW, was on run 120.
yrt+viva=1system Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Ok the straphangers are really getting annoying now! I mean they're relatively new but are squeaking so much already argh! I just don't understand why the straphangers on the TRs are so loud compared to the T1s.
TDE Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Ok the straphangers are really getting annoying now! I mean they're relatively new but are squeaking so much already argh! I just don't understand why the straphangers on the TRs are so loud compared to the T1s. +1 Besides the TTC not allowing for an HO Scale replica to be made, this probably didn't make it in the contract either...
yrt+viva=1system Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 In my opinion I think basic straphangers would be better than the current ones.
smallspy Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 I find that the doors on some sets close while the chimes are going off. Is this the new way it's going to be or just a bug? It has to do with the way that the operator operates the doors. Dan

wil9402 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 5471-76 were on 132 this AM. Around 8:30-8:40am today morning northbound at Bloor I saw 5431-36 on 119, followed by 5471-76 on 118, followed by 5401-06 on 120. The next northbound train I saw at College was another TR, not sure if there was a train between it and 5401-06 though.
octranspobusfreak Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 Today: 5441-46 on 143 going through Spadina southbound at 3:20pm. 5401-06 at Downsview at 3:40pm (couldn't see the run number).
Prometheus Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 5401-06 at Downsview at 3:40pm (couldn't see the run number). It was on run 145.
rocketdriver2019 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 It was on run 145. All eight of them were out today on Santa Clause Parade extras, FYI.
TTC1700 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 5481-5486 is out as 197 on a training run.
Prometheus Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 All eight of them were out today on Santa Clause Parade extras, FYI. Two women standing next to me were trying to come up with an explanation of why these new trains look so "elastic" and the old ones are so stiff..
D. DeLarge Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 All eight of them were out today on Santa Clause Parade extras, FYI. Eight sets now, enough to displace eight sets of T1's which would displace the remaining 5.67 sets of H4's...
