TTC Orion VII Movement List


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

 

 

With the Orion VII OG diesels at Eglinton all gone, the next buses to be retired are those from Birchmount, and would likely be followed by the Orion VII OG hybrids at MtD and Malvern. We obviously know that the Birchmount OGs are being replaced by Novas and some of the NG diesels from Wilson, but do we know the future of the OG hybrids? Considering their recent refurbs, it might be too early to retire those this or next year, but if the TTC says they are going to go sooner or later, and it's unlikely that Malvern or MtD will see new deliveries, what can we look forward to in terms of fleet movements to replace the OG hybrids when it's time? Considering that Arrow is also getting Novas from the latest batch, it could be likely that Arrow would send all its remaining NG hybrids to MtD and Malvern for just this purpose.

If the OG Hybrids are going to be retired, I suspect it will be due to reliability concerns, not because they also happen to be OGs. Note how the 79s and 80s aren't going anywhere for the time being.

If you all haven't forgotten, these S50 OGs weren't suppose to retire till 2021. That's around the same time as the OG hybrid's planned retirement. MOE issued a notice to TTC to get rid of these "dirty" buses. The NGs weren't suppose to retire so early either, till the feds dropped a pot of cash so the rebuild plans went out the door.

1216 has been at mt dennis since November with the vision system I have photos of it  and with the other 12 series that have the vision.

I know it has the new vision system however the list says that the bus is in Malvern.

Until I see these vision test buses enter service at Mount Dennis or someone with access to the internal fleet allocation list confirms that they are allocated to Mount Dennis, I am going to allocate them on the list to where they last operated in revenue service.
