A member on another forum who is an operator said that the record for fastest speed on a TTC train was 92km/h on an H6, between Vic park and Warden.

All this complaining is why we can't have nice things....

Red is boring... too generic.

That was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you. lafard - Interesting, I've experienced more brokken down H6's than H5's. But it makes sense why they the H6's are in better condition, and how they are keeping the controller packs... I mean what would the buyers use them for anyway?

Really? That is interesting, but I thought that they weren't the best mechanically speaking... Could you link me to it? I can't seem to find the specific page, it would be appreciated!

Even if for some reason they were to keep a few old trains for backup, why H6's? H5's seem to be in better condition, and they squeal even less than H6's...

The new trains aren't technically articulated though...

The second trainset (which is the third one made) was delivered in December, so the TTC now has two TR's on property. You did see the second set. CityNews says that the TRs are now supposed to start service in June.

How exactly is glencairn supposed to be pronounced? I've heard everyone pronounce it as glen-caren. I just can't make it two syllables from the way it is spelt... if people who's first language isn't english, wouldn't they rely on the spelling? Sometimes the correct pronounciation can be...

Hmm You answered the chime question witht he video, but I said in my question that I already knew that there were automated messages. You know from the video, I realize the TR makes quite a high pitched sound when at rest...

So I wonder if the TR door chimes will sound like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwNv1fxjPR4&feature=related or are they totally eliminated because of the automated messages?

I wasn't trying to say that just because a guy says something on the internet with no other proof means hes is saying the truth. I was just trying to say that Agram knew what he was saying, and not stating why he should be believed is my fault.

Agram- I believe Electrify is asking for a link in which you are getting all this infomation. Obviously not every source has to come from the internet, it has to go through people before it end up on the internet. So I was wondering if anyone has an idea why the TR has controller that tilts...

The informative thread turned philosphical of which spliffman is speaking of is that very one you mentioned. That is why he made this one. Gosh, already off topic ;)

Just for the record I wasn't being negative about them. I was stating what I thought, was a more realistic use for them now. They're a cool and useful feature, but the reason they won't be used to their full potential is due to the fact that; in reality you'd need more than three per car, and...
