MaT Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think if this happens, they should use the niagara transit scheme. Its a real looker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransitStudios Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 1860 has arrived (not my pic) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonka Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I've lived here since last September and have still never once seen a 60 footer. Apparently they exclusively run on the 316 but I've never seen one, even during rush hour, at least not anywhere downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ex-OC artics first arrived, they were exclusively found on the 16 (now 316); however they are now only found on student commuter routes out of Brock University, that do not go downtown.

97SCT Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Likely so, haven't seen a D60LF out in quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artics only Serve Routes 321/421 Confederation - Brock, 323/423 West Brock Commuter (rarely), 324/424 Brock - Tupper, 328 Brock - Towpath (rarely, interlines with 323), 331/431 Brock - Richmond, 335/435 Brock - Pen (VERY rare) and 336/436 Brock - Glendale Pen Ctr. Not EXACTLY sure as to why not 316/416. Assuming its because the other Brock routes need it and on top of that because the 316/416 has increased frequency like every 5 - 20 min during the day and every 15 - 30 min during the evening.

97SCT Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Likely the artics have exceeded the weight limit on the bridge (that goes over the tracks) along Glenridge Avenue but yet they went over with no problem before that issue came about.

I wonder why they decided to add the weight limit. Perhaps the structure of the bridge can't handle artics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransitStudios Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 1806 entered service today on the 316. I didn't get to take a pic, but I did ride it. It doesn't seem to have the usual Cummins ISL9 Voith engine. But it doesn't sound like Allison either. Anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
