TTC1700 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share #51 Posted April 12, 2010 Anything good of notice for June? I will be back in Toronto the first Weekend in June. One PCC will be out on the 509 on Sunday. There's gonna be around 60-90 fishbowls around depending on how much 81xx coming in. The 512 ROW might be fully opened by then but I'm not sure cause Gunns Loop reconstruction is going really slow. A good place to visit is the York U BRT. You'll see Fishbowls going upwards of 60-70km/h. Can't think of much off the top of my head but I'll post more when I can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC1700 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share #54 Posted April 12, 2010 question: what is with 1675's doors lol were they replacement doors? They either were test units for the 81xx or just replacements as you said and didn't have stock @ Orion so they just sent these Ammeriviews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC1700 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share #63 Posted June 18, 2010 Just received word that there might be a fishbowl slaughter following the G20 Summit here in Toronto. Apparently the TTC might retire the 112 remaining fishbowls including the ones that went through LEP. Looks like Calgary is gonna outlast us with their 103 fishbowls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect the TTC to keep at least the LEP ones in storage for any short falls in the fleet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
