The Orion V might not even be permanent. Notice they didn't even same a Flexible Metro B D or E!

That sucks, for the newest 5000 series units were only from 2004. That'd be like the MTA scrapping some R142/As. Could have used some for Work trains. If they retire the 6000s next, then they really would be foolish. The 6000s IIRC are Metro's second most reliable cars. I know that #2506, #2523, #2532, #2553, # 2580-2597 and #2599 are all retired. Do you know if any C40LFs are left on property? I know WMATA had like 4 or 5 2000 Orion VIs @ CET a few months ago. They need to have a museum fleet of buses too.

They are going down hill anyway and have been so for the last 4-5 years. Same with subchat.
-
Didn't you use to be on NYCT fourms?
-
Any updates on how the R-179s are performing?
-
I will say this, Bee Lines has one of the oldest fleets now, for most of their buses were built between 2001 and 2009.
-
Any thoughts on NICE bus's "Let's go" Campaign? Seems very promising , but this will require at least 1 or 2 more depots to be built, especially for an OTR coach fleet.
-
Does anyone know if Cinder Bed Depot is going to be another Weekday only garage or will they have weekend service too?

TTC Orion VII Rebuilds (Diesel/Hybrid)
Chris.A replied to FlyerD901's topic in Sightings for Greater Toronto Area
The 2011-2012 3Gs are getting rebuilt? Sorry if I'm late. I new here. Also, when do you think the last of the Orion VIIs will be retired? Circa 2025? Looks like NY MTA/NICE might be aiming for that time frame. -
You see, no offense, but that's WAYY before my time. I grew up in the 90s, 2000s, and early 2010s (or as I like to call this decade, the early two thousand teens). I grew up with DD50/G/EGR/G-EGR series powered buses and Cummins L10G powered buses.

Buses these days have no personality. Hate this era.
-
That is so stupid. The EGR version is suppose to be a cleaner version of the classic DD50 series engine.
-
Were they any cancelled bus orders that TTC made over the years?
-
Those Orion VIs were 1998 models right?
