I think it's quite right to axe that service completely Like it was mentioned before we are here to provide a service to our tax payers, the citizens of Toronto. We should have all equal services be it a profitable route or a money losing one. Why should one get a service he pays for and...

Next time you ride the Sheppard line you will notice that only the newer T1 train cars are put on this line. Its a pain in the arss trying to keep track of the cars that are up there, but upper staff only wants newer trains on this line.

You can argue that they should but I don't think many people see the theft of a map as important enough to press the yellow strip. Well the new map isnt printed for free it costs money as does new glass which is scratchittied. How many of you have seen punks scratch glass and just done...

Maps are stolen on a regular basis but recently we ran out of stock and the printer was late in getting us new ones. That is the reason why so many are missing. Every standard inspection and safety on the cars which is done every day these maps are replaced. So you the general public never...

I'll be watching out for you, can't wait to turn you in and get a reward! lol

Patience grasshopper! My useless information relates to the TR train. So after hearing some specs on the TR and its plus points about the extra standing room and all the other BS it downed on me what are we going to do when there is a suicide. Presently when a person is pinned under the...

The plan in the near future is to shut down Davisville Yard and hand it over to Plant who will park all their RT[work cars] there. The H 5 trains are to be retired Some T1 trains from the YUS line will me moved to Greenwood to replace the older Hawker trains [orange and blue seats lol]...

The first 6 CLRV's were built in Switzerland. The remainding were all built in Thunder Bay. Dont forget the first cars were crap and dont worry after they are tested by us they will go into revenue service, too bad we cant do the same with subways! ;)

Davisville puts out I believe around 10 trains for service and does all the Sheppard change offs. The barn does all safeties for the YUS line as well as minor repairs, motor replacements,compressors,driveshaft repairs and other minor repairs. The train you see on the spare track on the build up...

Dont look too much into it, it is only a first run production model and those tend to be poor. Im sure the next batch will be better. Getting back to the photo on top I was working there in "06 and might have been the one to have parked one of those units out side.......that picture was...

As you mentioned the vents give it away and the red markings on the top. So I was talking to one of our newer Forpersons who also went to Kingston and saw the new TR trains. The body panels are very poorly designed, when looking down the side of the train you can see waves [this has to be...

Before the dead end Sheppard line was built, TTC wanted to extend the line to Square 1 and HAzel was all for it.........but on one condition.......TTC pay for everything and all the fares from Square 1 be left to Mississauga, we all know what happened to that plan lol

Thats Davisville Yard, what were you going to say? I dont believe the T1 is actually coupled to the H5 unit, it looks like it is but I doubt it very much. The yard is very tight and the SYO's park the cars as close as possible. The 2 cars can be coupled but only mechanically and not electrically.

The 3 people that went to see the TR I havent seen yet but I have heard some of the interior paneling was shady and the trim was not alined up with exposed jagged edges. Interior drivers cab was not all set up correctly. This sort of thing is not uncommon for a first production model. Do you...

I was at a private function tonight and talked to one of the engineers who is associated with the Wilson complex and he confirmed that the construction will not be completed by at leat March the earliest. As for the TR he mentioned that he could not believe Bombardier made such a crap first...

Thats correct this data base is only for keeping track of these people it is not for public use. It is used to match up their tags on past vandalisms and when caught they are charged.

Yes Dallas as the one from USA :D When a train is found in the yard it is taken inside and cleaned by hand, it usually takes 2 employees a good six hours to completely take it off.

Its kind of hard to do it at Wilson Yard but they have hit Davisville Yard numerous times. The most popular time is long weekend as this yard is closed on weekends. Last year Special Constables had a sting operation on the yard and were doing servailance but sadly none came. One of the...

I dont think it is a problem and if the trains are washed on a regular basis like they are the grime does not build up. Trains are usually washed every 30 days so there is no reason to spend money on consultans and Engineering geeks when the present system works just fine. Painting them is out...

It's not necessary to 'paint' it. A sealant/protectant or stain could have been applied to ensure that it grime doesn't adhere to the surface The acid wash used on exterior washes would eat away on the sealant so it would not work.
