I thought all these had gone to Queensway? Was it back for a nostalgic throwback? You might be thinking about 8217 witch is on the 73 Royal York as of now. 73 Royal York goes through the same area as the 89 and 165 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what I mean it was really not practical to transfer all these old farts to Queensway at the tail end of their useful lives 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been around 7 AM. I was too busy dealing with traffic to busfan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, It doesn't help that ttc is hell bent on phasing out diesels giving them any excuse to retire a diesel bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you're guys at it, no VIIs could move but I heard the 80xxs are coming back on the 45/945 this spring and the OG HEVs are returning on routes 26, 55, 77 and 127 in the coming board (maybe May as @FlyerD901 said).

The warranty on the 8100s are up anyways so any unit that has a major mechanical failure will most likely be retired. Plus, the TTC's bus fleet is still surplus.

Will they replace all the 8000s and some of the 8100s as well as some LFS sans the Airport ones? I don't think they'll be turning #8100-#8111 or #8300-#8311 into airport buses due to lifespan limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the last diesel orders with luggage racks for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
