O-Train Line 1 fleet trends: 30-day rolling trend now shows up to 28 trains as of yesterday. Some haven’t been seen in over 2 weeks, so the 7-day trend still matters most, now indicating 25. Overall, more unique trains are entering service, though not consistently yet.

Last summer, we created a video on 7 Easy Wins that OC Transpo could do to improve service right now. Unfortunately to date, only two points have seen some level of improvement. With news of today's customer-first action plan, there is hope for more to be considered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_8Q...

Morning update. 7-Day Rolling Fleet Visibility is holding at 20 trains. LRV1160 was seen in service this morning (after a near 7 day absence). We are still tracking one other, LRV1165 to hopefully return by tomorrow to avoid a drop to 19. No further drops are anticipated for at least 4-5 days.

The 7-Day Rolling Fleet Visibility is presently 20 trains. We are anticipating it to potentially drop to 19 tomorrow and 18 Friday should certain LRVs not return to service by those dates.
