Xtrazsteve Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 17 hours ago, Tom1122 said: At this time, how many Orion 7s are expected to retire with both the 8620 series Novas coming into service as well as the Spadina extension opening up in December? TTC has no more garage space for more buses. The Novas are here for a 1 to 1 replacement. The ordered 97+245 this year. So I'm guessing it will be over 300. The Spadina extension shouldn't retire buses be allocate the resources used for the 196's onto other route. I expect some routes in the area to be reallocated. Wilson might get the 106 or something else back. This allows some routes to gain new improvements or maybe new express routes or simply more streetcar busitution. The express route report is due next board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I saw 7500 this morning. More parts have been removed. headlights and front bumper are gone. I think it is safe to say 7500 is done like dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be more appropriate for it to be in sighting thread. I don't think the 7400's are at the point where pictures or daily tracking is necessary at this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is a major repair issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to lack of hoist availability during the day, the techs doing the decommissioning at birchmount have been using the body shop to remove anything that does not require a hoist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
