I suspect it's actually a wrap rather than a paint job. Retirement usually comes as a result of a breakdown that is beyond economical repair.

@@Welwyn22 speaking of breakdown, back in April I rode on bus #663 on route 49, and that one broke down in the middle of St Boniface industrial park, and just refused to start back up, after almost a week, that bus was back in service again

Carry-on luggage can be stowed in the overhead rack above the windows. There are luggage racks for larger cases, but not in all carriages. It's likely they were at the other end of the train.

@@Welwyn22 How do we find out which carriage has a luggage rack so we don't have to run up & down the platform trying to find a carriage with a luggage rack?

Ask the station staff or the guard/conductor on the train. They should know which carriages have luggage bins.

Nah thats crazy. Sadly it is the truth though

It's highly unlikely for the foreseeable future

The wiki doesn't say which one... One page says EP40 and the other EP50. I've changed it anyway.

Concrete suspension, according to the driver xD But yeah, they definitely aren't comfortable over potholes or speed humps

I do hope to return to Seattle at some point this year, and Auburn will be on my list.

Apparently.

E&N (Esquimalt & Nanaimo) on Vancouver Island

@@Welwyn22 It is now called Southern Railway of Vancouver Island. It is owned by Southern Railway of B.C., which is part of the Washington Group of companies owned by Dennis Washington.

@@erikg.2666 Southern Railway of Vancouver Island (affiliation of SRY Rail Link) is the railway operator, the Island Corridor Foundation owns the railway and the lines now under the name "Island Rail Corridor". However, it's still referred to as the E&N Railway.

This was filmed before the Valley Line opened, so it's likely the route changed within the last year or so.

It's definitely something I'd like to do again

When the Class 317/5s and Class 317/6s are unavailable on the Hertford East Branch Line, like they could be working the Stansted Express services to Stansted Airport, working the London Liverpool Street to Cambridge services or could be working the London Liverpool Street to Ipswich services on the Great Eastern Main Line covering for the Class 321s which are unavailable or working the London Liverpool Street to Norwich services the London Liverpool Street to Hertford East services are normally worked by the Class 315s when the Class 317s are working the different routes

The 317s were all used interchangeably on West Anglia and Great Northern lines, until April 2006 when First Capital Connect took over the Great Northern part of the franchise. Both 'one' and 'wagn' were National Express franchises. The 317/3s allocated to Ilford after 2005 were renumbered to 317/5s and were repainted over the next couple of years. This was unpainted 317507 still in wagn livery. The FCC units remained allocated to Hornsey. 315s were the most common units on the Hertford branch, with 317s usually appearing on peak period diagrams until this was reversed in February 2006.

​@Welwyn22 The dark Blue Class 317s were allocated from London Kings Cross alongside the Class 365s and the Class 321s and the light Blue Class 317s and the Green Class 317s used for the Stansted Express were allocated from London Liverpool Street and the Class 315s were transferred to TFL Rail later Crossrail or the Elizabeth Line and London Overground in May 2015 leaving the Hertford East Branch Line to be operated entirely by the Class 317 units with the 12 Class 317/3s transferred from Great Northern in May 2017 and sometimes the Class 379 units from Stansted Express when the Class 317s are unavailable

Me too lmao

They have all been retired over the past couple of months. There might be one left, now.

These buses are gradually being retired now, by the TTC.

mta still have some VII OGs
