raptorjays Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I think 7912 and 7913 moved to Queensway. I only saw those two car on Arrow Road division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16 McCowan Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 #7911, #7914, and #7915 also moved to Queensway. The buses are out on routes 45A, 37A and 30A respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrazsteve Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm pretty sure they all have presto too. Movements suggests that more D40LFs retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taking 7912 on 50 Burnhamthorpe and it had presto machine. However, it was turned off. At the same time, there were only about 10 D40LF running during the afternoon rush.. So Im predicting D40LF will retire before September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were at 24 at the beginning of June. Probably wise to retire them all by the end of July or whenever 15 more Novas enters service. The presto readers should be enabled when they are installed. I got a feeling they broke down (or lost the GPS signal to tell them their location) after it was enabled. I have seen a bus with the presto card/banner but with a non-function reader. It happens on the streetcars, it can happen on the buses too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the LFS or 7900s moved to Queensway as D40LF replacements (the buses itself replaced the D901s last decade ago), where would they displace some 7900s or 8000s at to other garages that are not Arrow Road?

Wait and see what happens. I doubt anything is happening till September. I'm pretty sure the 8000's are glued to Queensway for the rest of their life. The 7900s will probably stay at Arrow/Queensway. Arrow will given up more hybrids till they got nothing left. They still got about 80 of them. I don't think Wilson will get the 7900s back. I wouldn't be surprised that the next order of 97 LFSes end up at Arrow or split with Queensway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Queensway will get the new LFS vehicle.. I haven't seen putting new buses in the Queensway division. I also don't think all 7900s will come to Queensway because Arrow is keep giving up hybrids to other divisions and they will have bus shortage again. I expect around 3/4 of 7900 will be at Queensway, so that makes total of 160 cars in the garage (100 8000s and 60 7900s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a waste if they don't move some there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaLa1517 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 1363 is at Mount Dennis, but it's likely going back to Wilson as 1361 and 1370 were at Mount Dennis last night, but have moved back to Wilson.

Those 97 could be split with Mount Dennis or Malvern, on the document it did show it was to replace 10 of the Orion VII First Generation Hybrids. But the order could have that Arrow Queensway spilt which i see Arrow loosing the rest of its Hybrids to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The didn't refurbish all the first gens for them just to hit the scrap yard in a year. MtD has the best routes for hybrids. As much as I would love to see some diesel buses at MtD, they are better off with hybrids. With exception of a few routes like 32A, 41E and 52. Malvern is not hybrid friendly at all. I won't be surprised if hybrids were last to retire at MtD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amused that Wilson or Birchmount isn't mentioned on the list. But problem is if the order goes Queensway, many of the 79/80xxs migrate to other divisions. Same story with Arrow Road, new order pushes some 7900s and the remaining hybrids out of Arrow Road. 1 hour ago, Xtrazsteve said: It's not the first gen but the NGs that are retiring first.

I won't be surprised if hybrids were last to retire at MtD. I like it better when Malvern ran diesel-powered Orion Vs. Still no surprise they don't have any 40' Orion VII diesel buses (7400s or 7900s) in Malvern's fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bus_7246 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Sadly, aside from the three previously stricken hybrids (1256, 1517, & 1671), I believe it's safe to say that 7807, 1295, 1300 & 1599 can be take off the movements list and added to the decommissioned list.
