smallspy Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Frankly it won't matter for the Orion VIIs much anyways, as they are set to be retired in the next month or so. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Two things: 1. Having ridden on the "113A DANFORTH" yesterday to Victoria Park Stn., I guess the routing is slightly different from the 1980 arrangement which ran from Kennedy Stn., south via Kennedy Road, southwest via Danforth Road, west via Danforth Avenue, north via Pharmacy Avenue, west via Denton Avenue and to Victoria Park Stn. although they use the current routing instead of the original one. 2. If @leylandvictory2 and @Bus_Medic can confirm or deny, I guess June board will see the 190 and 57 swapping garages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRT_BMT_IND Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 http://ttc.ca/TTC_Surveys/Junction_Area_Survey.jsp Proposed changes in the Junction/Bloor West Village area. Highlights include: Replacing the 30 Lambton with an extension of the 40 Junction, eliminating a 25 year old vestige of the trolleybus system. Extending 127 along St Clair to Scarlett Road. This is the most overdue IMO, especially with all the new development west of Gunns loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrazsteve Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 The 30 would need a new name! Call it 30 High Park or something more suitable. The 127 extension makes St Clair more travelable by transit but will slow down people on the 79B from getting to Line 2. I'm a little worried the 40 branches would make service worst. The route is busy enough. Further extensions will just lead to more bunching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Ideally, you'd extend the streetcar to Jane, and even Scarlett Road! Perhaps something to ask Premier Drug Fraud for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most overdue IMO, especially with all the new development west of Gunns loop. I feel like the main purpose of swapping service on Dundas west of Runnymede from 30 to 40 is to reduce any delays associated with looping through High Park in the summer months. Otherwise that just seems like change for the sake of change, especially since not every bus on the frequent 40 will go west of Jane. The extension of the 127 west helps simplify all of the branches in that area (and makes service more frequent on 71B). However it depends on where the residents along St Clair want to go - if more people want to go south to the subway rather than east along St Clair, then those riders are worse off as they now require an extra transfer, or a much longer ride to the subway at Spadina Station.

Extending 40 to Dundas West is a good idea, but I think 30 may need to be eliminated if it only goes till Runnymede.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those residences along High Park Avenue and those going into High Park in the summer who uses the 30 will be very unhappy with your statement.

2822 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) 55 and 40B should be merged to reduce congestion at Jane station also so 40B can stay on Dundas and not require to go north on to St.Clair to turn around as there is sometimes heavy traffic along the proposed 40B routeing.

Ed T. Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Has anyone found the service summary for this board period? I can't find it on the TTC site, even entering the presumed URL based on the previous summary's name. What I'm wondering about is the dispatch of 501 Queen cars to Lake Shore. They're coming from Russell. So any cars going into service or going out of service will be a link from/to downtown. The "service changes" bulletin mentions a few runs in the morning that operate through to downtown. I wonder if there are more runs that will actually do this, as they make their trips to and from Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection is that service summary didn't get posted until after the changeover last time - I was looking for it then.

I've tried whacking @TTCHelps over the head with a metaphorical 2×4 already ... I have to say metaphorical, as they get upset at such unstated metaphors!
