And herein lies the problem.
Im really wondering why they cant do concurrent activity and train the first batch of ttc operators with the trainers. they all will learn how to drive the trains and the only major difference is that the trainers will take additional training to teach.
What this guys exact qualifications I'm not 100% sure, but regardless as I've said before, his words line up with what I've heard from other trustworthy sources.
I'd think that they'd simply do it the way they are doing it, and schedule it so that it works for the earliest possible opening date.
After 4 years of delays do you really think they care about saving time?
Earlier this year, there seemed to always be a car when I crossed Eglinton, during the morning, but not in the evenings (around 6 pm). But that had stopped more recently.
It has mostly been in the morning, but I have seen them as late as 7pm and as early as 7am. Definitely more morning heavy though.
On Tuesday at 8:30pm I counted 8 trains running between Birchmount and the DVP. All simulating I would say a 3-5 minute service frequency.
I just passed ~8? trains (2 way) Kennedy to DVP.
Well if they want to open at the end of the year, every month counts
Because the TTC's own trainers need to have way more knowledge as they will be expected to be able to train more than just the operators. Their training is more intense, and some of it may not be applicable to what the operators need. They will be, quite literally, writing the book.
Let's put it this way - one of my friends is high enough on the seniority table that he will be in the first or second class of operators to be trained when the time comes. And he has not been given a date that he can expect to be moved over to Subway Ops in order to begin his training, although he had been given two earlier dates that were later cancelled.
I take it that the courses are conducted in modules and there is a separate module for the operation of the vehicle. why cant they all take that module together and the trainers then stay for their additional training to be instructors? this first batch or operators/trainers will all be coming with zero knowledge of how to drive these lrvs anyways so a combined group could theoretically work for the initial group.
I think you and ARG are both missing the point here. The original mystery Reddit poster claimed to be a "testing operator". As LRVs are active on in the line in testing today, we clearly know that someone is in the cab operating the vehicle. The poster is likely one of those people on the consortium side, not a TTC operator.
