Talk:510 Spadina

message: The article cites a document that shows the streetcars are two minutes slower than the old Spadina bus?
That is interesting.
But there is another very strong advantage of the streetcars.  I used to ride that bus several times a week in the years prior to the streetcar construction.  
*The buses were often trapped in traffic for ten minutes or more going the 500 metres from Dundas to College.
*The windows of the buses used to tattle deafeningly when the buses were able to travel at a reasonable speed. Why?  I don't know for sure.  But I suspect the road conditions were so poor, with so many potholes, that they only ran old, worn out buses there.  Geo Swan (talk) 16:49, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I changed the length of the tunnel portion of the line.  Previously the article asserted it was "2 km".  I was sure it was shorter -- maybe 400 metres.  But according to mapblast Front and Queen's Quay are .6 km apart.  Cheers!  Geo Swan (talk) 01:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  explanation 

message: The article currently asserts: 
#"Red Rocket" is a decades old name for TTC vehicles, taken out of retirement.  
#IIUC, the UTDC vehicles don't form the majority of the city's current fleet.  For at least a decade they have formed the entirety of it.  The TTC's retains 1 old Peter Dewitt car, and two PCC cars -- but only for ceremonial purposes, or for charter.  (One can charter a vehicle for a party, and these vehicles don't have to follow scheduled routes.)
#My recollection is that the PCC cars had all been retired before the Spadina line was opened.
#Personally, I have a great fondness for the TTC's PCC's original livery of maroon and yellow.

replies: text: The maroon and yellow PCCs are occasionally used as standard streetcars when they need vehicles. I often see them, and have travelled on them many times, on the regular scheduled 510 route. Canterbury Tail talk 02:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Really? 

message: Details on this should be in the TTC fares article, rather than here. An encyclopaedia article is not meant to be a user guide for riding the streeetcar. I have been bold and deleted a bunch of details. Discussion? Ground Zero | t 17:20, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The POP information inserted to this article was extremely detailed. The section about TTC POP in :Toronto Transit Commission fares should be expanded, since this applies to more than one route. If the reader requires those details, a link is given.
