Each fleet is stored & maintained at their respective yard (T1s at Greenwood & TRs at Wilson or Davisville). In this video, after going out of service at Yonge, it went to Lower Bay in order to then transfer back onto Line 1 at St. George & go back to Wilson.
@@TheOGDieselFanatic As far as I know, they have been to Greenwood yard and could even be temporarily stored there overnight, but not for long-term storage like weeks or months, and maintenance work on them can't be done at Greenwood (at least not yet).
Like the description reads, it was on April 29, and the beginning of the video corresponds to 6:49 pm. And no, it certainly doesn't happen every day, but does seem to be more often than one might expect (I take the subway most days of the week and once in a while I might see this, but 90% of the time am unable to film it
To be fair I will be okay with T1s and TRs both on Line 1, 2, and 4. Just so you can we get what same thing of what happened back in the day, with the H trains, if the H trains didn’t retired, I would have wanted H5s, T1s, and TRs. on Line 4. And have Line 2 to have H6s, TRs, H4s, and H5s. And Line 1 with T1s, H5s, and TRs.
@@H5subway5707 if you see one on line 2 and ride it, and if it goes out of service at yonge station and there is a T1 on the other side, can you film the T1?
@@TheOGDieselFanatic considering that seeing X cars on Y line (or vice versa) is a pretty rare & unlikely occurrence, my main focus would be to film that, because there's nothing special about seeing X cars on line X or Y cars on line Y. If the T1 showed up after the TR left the station, I probably would've filmed it as well, but since both showed up at the same time, it was more important to film the TR on line 2.
There are no "new H-series" cars, only T1's on line 2 which are 19-25 years old now. When the next order of trains comes out, it will probably go on line 1 while the TR's (the oldest of which are 10 years old now) would move to line 2.
Ah the sounds of T1s and TRs on the same line. Something that does not happen often. From a bygone era when multiple stock types ran on all lines.
I saw the tr train on line 2 back in August 2016, it’s super rare
At that time it was a bit more common, because that's when several T1's had AC failures
Yeah I know that
The TR's Are too wide For the Curves and platform

@@stephensalloum7763 The platform part was kind of right, but the curves are wrong because the TR is articulated and has open gangways
Wow a TR on Line 2!
Wow! I didn't know Bloor could be a terminus on the BD. There's no place to turn around before St George WB or Broadview EB
It most likely went back to line 1 via lower Bay
True but that'll never get you back EB if it were to return to service that way. It would've gone to St George if that was the case.
A long time ago lower Bay was used for interlining, trains on line 1 would run up University and then turn onto line 2 in either direction (east or west).
Yep. Been down there for DOTO and for two BD diversions a few years ago.
@SN - 08AA - Glenhaven Sr PS (1173) Yeah he did cause it is form Wilson so most likely and will make sense it when on Spadina interchange
Ah yes the TR I can’t wait unit it’s full on line 2
I saw one at Bloor Yonge station back in August 2019 on Line 2 but the train was out of service.
What Day?!?!?!?!?!
From the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario!
TTC should replace the old trains with TRs. If someone makes a petition, maybe this will convince the TTC to replace the old train with new ones.

Too bad I only took the subway in the afternoon & evening
Please reupload it Toronto Rocket on Line 2
