    Doug was one of my Divisional trainers in 2003 on buses out of Arrow Rd. I operated on Keele St. with Doug wow 20 years ago. I did operate the trains as well on the YUS or as it called no Line 1. I am now retired as well.

      @@unknowncaller2253 I also got to drive a T1 from Dundas West to Lansdowne, and it was very very fun, it was last year in 2019. I believe Colley was his name, he was very nice, he let me HONK the HORN through the tunnel, it echoed through and last year when it was nighttime at Broadview and we were exiting, I saw a house with stained glass, I thought it was beautiful. I just wanna go back at night and re-live that memory.
