Cait Sith Posted November 8, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 8, 2011 That can't be right, I saw it training down Braddock yesterday....I need shots of the actual destination signs for proof because it's been training for some time now.....

Its still in training and the runbox has not been touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might go into service within the next few days or weeks . 4816 has a fb in it and an ulmer park radio so they will use it soon i guess the farebox was put in yesterday morning .

If only the Hanover was clear, you'd see the Q1. I sat there and watched go up Braddock. There were people in the bus Sadly on another note it didn't return, most likely went back to do operator training If only I had put the swiped record instead of picture.

The runbox says 111, its been like that since it started training. I doubt they'd throw it into service and then just send it back to training.

dmouse Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted November 8, 2011 Eh I didn't pay attention to the runbox, All I know was that it was in service. Also it's been had a fare box, for quite some time now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciboii22 Posted November 8, 2011 Share #16 Posted November 8, 2011 QV did that when they had their first LFS, no? Yes when they got 8047 from ulmer park there was a fb in it . They trained for a few weeks then put her in service on the Q2 and the other lines . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted November 9, 2011 Share #17 Posted November 9, 2011 I don't think 4810 made service today. Everything doesn't add up. -Your shot was taken at 1:36 PM in between the 1:23 and 1:53 trips out of Braddock. It takes 8 minutes to get to Springfield thus making the bus 5 minutes late, if it was in service. -There was a dispatcher on duty at Springfield & Hillside today. -When I shot the bus later on in the day, the runbox was still set at 000. As far as I know, drivers don't change the runbox on buses that they train on. Remember 2400 was delivered with X0X in its runbox. That's how it was through training before going into service. During fall pick, it stayed on its assigned run of 832 through training. In Addition, there were more than 2 employees on the bus training today. They did exit the bus in my case and looked around before doing the rest of the training route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When 4816 came to ulmer park last week the box # was 666 then 777 then 111 and now its 000 . When the prevost did training as you said it stayed on run 832 . They just mess around with the box #'s but it will probably go into service soon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmouse Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share #19 Posted November 9, 2011 I dunno 711 this one is a real puzzler, Yes 1:37PM was when I took that Q1 shot. Still rather interesting... Could it be a possibility they did a route training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Posted November 9, 2011 Share #21 Posted November 9, 2011 It is also possible that this bus could've done a "Wildcat" Trip in the middle of day to put the bus in simulated service. Which is regularly. Remember 2400 did Wildcat service the first 2 days of passenger service only doing 1 AM trip, then it was thrown to the full regular split run. So nothing is impossible...

Cait Sith Posted November 9, 2011 Share #24 Posted November 9, 2011 QV did that when they had their first LFS, no? Thats when they were short and all the buses from other depots came into play. They sent 8047 to service, but by the time that hit service, most of the operators were trained already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Posted November 9, 2011 Share #25 Posted November 9, 2011 Wildcat run? Interesting. Wildcating is something that is regular to the industry, however the terminology varies from authority to authority... It's basically when an unscheduled/unplanned trip or run is made on a given line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
