TTC Orion VII Diesel & Hybrid Rebuild Tracking


Recommended Posts

1272 was the first general pilot of the new scheme. Because the bus was well into the 9-year rebuild program, they continued maintaining the old scheme. 

8159, despite being rebuilt roughly around the same time that 1272 was being rebuilt, is a 6-year rebuild. 

The 6-year rebuilds are getting the new scheme. The 9-year rebuilds are currently receiving the old scheme until the company secures a delegated supplier for the paint of the new scheme.

My backyard faces Finch in a section where only route 39 buses run (no 199s). Although I can't see the street from where I sit and worked all day today, I could hear the buses go by and from their sound alone, almost every one of those buses was a first-gen hybrid (the rumble is deeper than that of the NG hybrids). From this, it seems like Malvern wants to wear the older hybrids out sooner so they could get rid of them.

And another one just went by as I send this message off...
