2044 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Can you? I couldn't see them today - they didn't seem to be attached to a route. Wouldn't they be out-of-service? http://ttca.sammdot.ca/track2.html?4213 Found it here.Also turns out 4249 was just wrapped for promotion and not reconfigured like 4213.

T3G Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 To insulate different parts of the overhead from another. It allows the TTC to only turn off the power in parts of the overhead rather than the whole system. Makes sense, thanks! They loop between Wolseley Loop and McCaul Loop, with 277 Queen being the pickup point. 4213 is currently the only car as 4249 is being unwrapped as we speak. ttc4213_snkrsxpress_DSC03248 by G.Viloria Photography | TTC1700s Transport Media, on Flickr http://ttca.sammdot.ca/track2.html?4213 Found it here.

soo8513 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 So 4417 is here. I presume 4402, 4418, 4419 are in the pipeline and may arrive in next one to three weeks ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfitz Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Last week, elsewhere, someone with "inside info" said that 4418 was scheduled to ship today - but that was subject to change. I have no idea of the veracity of the info, but they sounded genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 so what is the status of 4402? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc rider Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 This is an excellent example of how internet rumors start and people people believe them. 4417 was unloaded yesterday. Can you share any info as to status of 4402? Today is the first day that both 4402 and 4417 are showing up on this tracker: http://ttca.sammdot.ca/ttc-track-multi.html?4400-4455 4402 in Aurora and 4417 near Lake Simcoe (obviously the GPS's on both are out of whack, but the fact that they are trackable nonetheless makes me believe that they both have been delivered to the TTC).

TTCOpITM Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 had to say quite, the inexperienced, I was on one of them and everyone in my car experienced motion sickness when we got off It may not necessarily be because the operator is junior. Some Alrvs are naturally very jerky (when the brakes are applied and released). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT0603 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 im not questioning the operator's driving, im just curious more of how they got picked to drive it, thats allDrivers don't get picked to drive certain vehicles, rather they are assigned whatever is at the front of the service line by the allocator. It's nothing more than luck of the draw as vehicles can be anywhere in the service line at the garage/yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAverageJoe Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 im not questioning the operator's driving, im just curious more of how they got picked to drive it, thats all City news asked one of the operators and she said she was asked by management if she wanted that assignment for the All Star Weekend.

exvanpegger Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 had to say quite, the inexperienced, I was on one of them and everyone in my car experienced motion sickness when we got off I'd say thats more likely due to the lack of windows inside. Your brain is having much more difficulty processing and anticipating movement when you've got no visual frame of reference. Its like travelling in the back of a box truck.

leylandvictory2 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 overtime work. Since this is a special assignment. Today's operator is a guy in his 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3G Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Apparently there are ALRVs on the 509 this weekend. I saw 4216 IIRC last night at Fleet and 4214, 4224 and 4244 appear to be out today according to the Sammdot tracker. Is this going to be a regular thing, or is it just because of the NBA thing this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc rider Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Today was the first day with 14 of the new streetcars in service concurrently during daytime: 2 on rte. 509 (4407 & 4412), 12 on rte. 510 (all the others, up to and including 4416, except 4413 which was missing).

Is this going to be a regular thing, or is it just because of the NBA thing this weekend? Starting this period up to 6 runs on 509 are now in the 50 series intended for low floors. ALRVs will operate on 509 LFLRV runs when LFLRV are not available, which will be for a while yet. Minimum 2 LFLRV on 509. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc rider Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 ALRVs will operate on 509 LFLRV runs when LFLRV are not available, which will be for a while yet. Minimum 2 LFLRV on 509. But for the time being, is that the best use for the ALRV's though? When Spadina was still officially "high-floor" and not enough new streetcars were available to cover all of the LFLRV-designated runs, they had CLRV's assigned to those runs instead. The ALRV's only starting showing up on Spadina last month, when the route officially converted to "low-floor only". It makes sense to now run the larger ALRV's on Spadina, since every ALRV technically replaces a Flexity, and there are only a maximum of 14 runs in service, instead of 21, which used to be the case before the official "low-floor" conversion. But why have ALRV's on Harbourfront? The only thing that changed this board period was the run number assignment. The total number of runs in service at any given time is not changing, there may be 6 LFLRV runs now, but in practice there are still 2 LFLRV's assigned to the route, so you're simply increasing capacity by replacing CLRV's with ALRV's. Meanwhile, there are now lots of CLRV's on 501 Queen running on ALRV headways, to compensate for the ALRV's displaced from 501 onto 509/510.

Xtrazsteve Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 This board is strange. We'll see if the ALRVs should on the 509. I was surprised to see a couple of them on the 509 in the evening. They also got the artics on the 29's too on Sundays. That haven't happened in months.
