Xtrazsteve Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 They finally figured out artics not a good fit on 63 or 6. Yeah, maybe the TTC shouldn't announce things they can't do. Another example, installing cell phone services in the subway. Nope, no providers wanted to chip in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38 Highland Creek Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 No I am not. I can go onto the Wikipedia page right now and edit it to say they will retire on March 32, 2015. Anyone with a computer and an internet connection can edit a Wikipedia page, and the information does not have to be truthful. This is why pretty much any teacher will say that Wikipedia is not allowed as a reliable source for a project. March 32nd doesn't exist. And I doubt they'll be around after 2015-03-31.

Ed T. Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 So the last day of the Vs to be in service (1996 batch) is I assume tmrw? Are you assuming this based on the service summary and new board period? Because I think that's got nothing to do with it. 7013 and 7123 go as soon as any one of the following happens: there are enough working hybrids to cover service requirements their MOT expires (which is not mid-month) there's a major breakdown or other issue with the bus Note that all but the MOT can happen today, or next week, or.... Whoosh. The sound of an Orion V outaccelerating a hybrid on 199? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Looks like they've been withdrawn. 7123 is in the north yard, haven't seen 7013 this weekend. 7106 should be safe on the island till sometime in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerD901 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I guess when 7106 comes back, Wilson will provide buses for the Island. Well it was a good run, hard non stop service since 1996, on the busiest corridors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Both decommissioned. 7123 being pushed out the door by our tractor, 7013 idling away it's last sips of fuel. Taken yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayone Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Both decommissioned. 7123 being pushed out the door by our tractor, 7013 idling away it's last sips of fuel. Taken yesterday. 7123 is the one nearest to you, 7013 is in the middle, but which Orion V is peaking out behind 7013? And welcome back I want to show my gratitude to those people who designed and built the Orion Vs and the people past and present who took care of them at Malvern and other temporary divisions. I love everything about them. Inside, outside. It was an honour and a pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Now only 6 systems only remain with the V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Is it just the TTC that idles a decommissioned bus until it runs out of fuel or do other systems do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ask them. 7033 and 7128 are there, awaiting tow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed T. Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 7106 should be safe on the island till sometime in June. So 7106 MOT expires end of June? How much running does it actually do on the island? I expect the chances of it going out for a run once it's back from the island are very slim. Now only 6 systems only remain with the V. You're including the TTC in your count, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Right I forgot about the 9400 series so that's 7 not 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashore_518203 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Right I forgot about the 9400 series so that's 7 not 6 Is that is North America, Canada, Ontario or what? It is always best to quantify your answer rather than being vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 The island assignment is actually busier than one might think. It's used all day, Monday to Friday , transporting residents and employees and anyone else there, to be honest, between ward's island and hanlan's point. Basically makes the trip for every daytime boat arrival, so that's half hourly? Not sure on the exact boat schedule. Bus is very often full seated loads, and the bike rack is used almost every trip.

6254 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 7106's expires in May 2015. Any idea on the status of 7060 (license expires in March)? So 7106 MOT expires end of June? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
