You may want to change the description on the top page saying "effective 2014 these trains will begin service as light rail cars starting with LAMATA in Lagos , Nigeria ". Because they will likely be around for another year or so.
So what I heard from a TTC operator, is that the old H5 subways will be converted into passenger coach cars removing the motors and the conductor cabs in each car and will be pulled/pushed by a diesel locomotive when they are sent to Nigeria, as for the old H6 subways, they will retain the conductors cabs in each car, is that true?
There seems to be a lot of confusion with terminology here. Everyone is calling the new Lagos project light rail but if it's using these trains it's clearly not light but heavy rail. This is a good thing in my opinion since while heavy rail is more expensive to build and operate and less flexible it's faster and capable of carrying far more people and that is what crowded congested Lagos very much needs.
+SuperWorldFan7000 Lagos light rail train with metro stations such as London Underground, or Wilhelminaplein (Rotterdam Metro), or Szent Gellèrt tèr (Budapest Metro), or Olaias (Lisbon Metro), or Arts et mètiers (Mètro de Paris), or Formosa Boulevard Station, or Kiyevskaya (Moscow Metro), or Solna Station, or Art Station of the Naples Metro
@tech4156 The rail will generate it's own power and run 24/7 plus the government is working on providing 24/7 power across the state of lagos as well as nigeria as a whole. Not to mention the new city EKO atlantic will have it's own sewage system and power grid to ensure 24 hour high end service in the future. Nigeria obviously has it's problems but it's nowhere near as bad it was in the past. Better leadership has great benefited that country the last decade.
@Em1n3mFANn2 The H5's will all be gone very soon on the YUS line, so you should make the best of it if you see one, as for the H6's they should still be around for another 2 years or so, they will retire probably around 2014 when the new streetcars start entering revenue service.
I don't understand if Lagos is trying to run heavy rail like what's pictured above or if they are really going with light rail but either way I hope they carry it out. If any place ever needed it to relieve congestion and too much traffic they certainly do. Hope their power problems don't hinder it. I guess the lack of coal in West African countries really hurts their power production and they aren't nearly advanced enough for nuclear power. Hydroelectric alone is just not enough.
@tech4156 Listen I'm not nigerian I've just been a bit interested in the country recently and most other west african countries thats all. I would gladly appreciate some more knowledge about the culture, people and countries if you wouldn't mind teaching me. I agree infrastructure there still needs improvement no doubt. And I was never arguing with you. Are you nigerian or black african?
@TTCOrionVII8100 The Scarborough RT line is still an LRT line is it? Although I'm curious, what's going to happen to the Mark Is when they are retired?
This will be a bigger shame for commuters, when the Mark Is is gone there will be no more Scarborough RT service, the entire line will be closed down for good.
What? That can't be right. How in the world are they going to convert the heavy rail subway cars and train pictured in the video above into a light rail system? That's impossible. The track gauge is going to be too small on a light rail system first of all. The person that posted this must have some kind of misunderstanding.
who told u that?plz if u want to be ignorant don't go to that extent. and speaking of corruption, what country in the world doesn't have corruption? and this country is not the only country that facing some problem in Africa. if u don't have anything to say just dislike the freaking video and bounce. jeez
Lol, come on Nigeria, u should be doing better than buying old trains, why is it that there are no black 1st world country's? B/c of things like this, get the Economy on track, Produce more jobs, Seriously just do better, this whole Africa being poor thing is getting Pathetic.
Well this is a start & I wish Nigeria all the best in making a go at becoming a more modern-society.
The H6s Need To Come Back To The TTC
i wished, but since they got scrapped forever, it's clearly impossible soo.....rip
J F Studios yeet the Ankara one? Nah, theres major differences.
@@BurnedNoodle ...did i say ankara?
Yes they do

it would be so cool if it was a subway
Lool roaming undergroun for about 30 years in toronto and moving to LAGOS.
The TTC's H6 subway cars will remain in service until at least 2014.
So what I heard from a TTC operator, is that the old H5 subways will be converted into passenger coach cars removing the motors and the conductor cabs in each car and will be pulled/pushed by a diesel locomotive when they are sent to Nigeria, as for the old H6 subways, they will retain the conductors cabs in each car, is that true?
Maybe the Philippines might have the Scarborough line 3 rolling stock for MRT 7 if they can
nope it’s currently being seen by other transit agencies for spare parts

Yea true
UPDATE: However the Lagos deal was cancelled and instead, these trains are being sold for scrap instead of going to Nigeria.

Should have been brought back to Toronto if deal was cancelled and used as spares or resold to somewhere else rather than going to the scrap yard.

Any idea what the cost was on these Hawker Siddley Subway cars when new estimate
So this means is that all Bloor-Danforth line trains will run entirely as the T1's.
yes
@tech4156 I don't mean like that I mean it has it's own power source

@TTCOrionVII8100 The new line will be using new streetcars is that true?

@tech4156 Lol actually they do have electricity just it isn't as reliable as it should be.
@TTCOrionVII8100 The Scarborough RT line is still an LRT line is it? Although I'm curious, what's going to happen to the Mark Is when they are retired?
They still have the mark 1 trains but sorry to hear Scarborough RT has discontinued 😢
@ttcspot why?
UTDC Hawker Siddley H6
@tech4156 Thing is I'm not a technician so I can't I only recently read up on it.
This will be a bigger shame for commuters, when the Mark Is is gone there will be no more Scarborough RT service, the entire line will be closed down for good.
actually, it's still standing, they wouldn't using those. Although they are almost close to retirement i think
it never happened. Lagos cancelled the deal and the H6’s were scrapped
@TTCOrionVII8100 What is the Mark Is?
What? That can't be right. How in the world are they going to convert the heavy rail subway cars and train pictured in the video above into a light rail system? That's impossible. The track gauge is going to be too small on a light rail system first of all. The person that posted this must have some kind of misunderstanding.
why?
Swhat is this? Is it a nigerian metro?
It is Canadian, from the city of Toronto.
But they will be used on the future Lagos system, in Nigeria.
@tech4156 Never mind i just did because I read up on it. It's not that serious.
Ok I Can t See An H6 On Another Transit System Cuzz Its Weird But If I Ever See A H4 Or H5 It Will Be Freaky
I don’t think this is Nigeria train
who told u that?plz if u want to be ignorant don't go to that extent. and speaking of corruption, what country in the world doesn't have corruption? and this country is not the only country that facing some problem in Africa. if u don't have anything to say just dislike the freaking video and bounce. jeez
lamata kor namata ni... lol
Click bait.
Lol, come on Nigeria, u should be doing better than buying old trains, why is it that there are no black 1st world country's? B/c of things like this, get the Economy on track, Produce more jobs, Seriously just do better, this whole Africa being poor thing is getting Pathetic.
