Not that it makes any difference but Bombardier for the past 8 years has gone through 8 streetcar managers

How about the fact that they are rusting after only 2 years! How about that the motor bolts are cracking and the whole fleet has ben recalled and new modifications haveto be made Drivers cab doors are a disaster, they do not close properly, so Bombardier came out with this state of the art...

They are here till November But the way TR trains are becoming a clear dissaster they might be wise and keep the H5 cars around

What do you mean probably go on the Yonge Line?

Does that 800 Kms of testing include picking up sheared motor bolts? lol What a piece of crap these cars are, they are going to be a nightmare and a disasterto maintain and keep in service.

New brake shoes are being used.

Not sure if you guys/gals have seen the new video ATU Local 113 is putting out Its a behind the scenes video of maintenance workers, really nicely done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7eG7Ye9w-U

The H6s are an exceptionally smooth and fast ride, quiet braking, the doors open and close quickly, and they have held up remarkably well (especially given the lower maintenance standards on the Bloor line versus YUS) How do you figure this? There is a set schedule for preventative...

I'm sure some of you are aware of the Total Recall movie that is being filmed on the streets of Toronto But did you know one of our H4 trains will be in it,

While probably a little more complicated, isn't there a way to detach the cars? Yes you can and it takes a few hours.....but then what would you do with them?

I just hope these trains end up being more reliable than the T1s or the same Well I can count on one hand the amount of times I changed out a T1 motor....now the H5 is another thing The TR will never be as reliable as the T1, mainly because if anything goes wrong on the TR the whole train has...

Or it could be that they should have never gone out till they are 100% ready

The reason the A/C was cutting-out was because only 2 cars had actual air working. The other 4 cars were cut out. Not sure if anyone noticed but the TR was grounded today
