Is there any rationale as to why some cars on QQ use poles and some use pantos? From observing for about 30 minutes today it's about 25% poles and 75% pantos.
509 cars raise/lower the pans at the Ex loop, with 510 still having issues with Spadina-Bloor loop for pans. In the coming months, 510 cars will be using pans, but what loop will they use to raise/lowers the Pans??
511 cars will use the Ex I assume to raise/lower the pans this summer like 509. I expect 512 will use the bypass track at St Clair W loop to raise/lower the pan, once work is completed on the loop there this fall.
Unless all Queen intersections from the Barns to Bathurst St are 100% converted to the new OS, 509-512 will have to do what I noted above for pans.
BBD only has 2 months to delivery all the require cars by the end of June to comply with the current delivery schedule. The issue with 4466 has mess things up some what, with TTC having one less car in service as plan.
Based on March report, one can say BBD will be suppling 10 extra cars to cover TTC back charge, but still short to cover TTC full cost on the cars being soooooo late in delivery. The question is, what is Metrolinx supposed to takeover as noted in the report, TTC??
To bad we don't have good info as what and when is being ship from Thunder Bay as well arrival at Hillcrest these days, compared to the past.
Based on current in service time frame, is TTC going to bump things up to get cars into service faster like the past??? Lack of overtime going to hurt getting cars into service until 113 changes its tune.
Thanks to Peter to pay Paul, the OS conversion has been push down the road by a few years, other wise, pan would be use today for all routes.
