bus_7246 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 10 hours ago, BusFanForever said: 1405 is done. The Bus tangled with a loaded salter/snow plow this morning and lost. Severe damage to the front, worse than 1510. Thankfully the Operator survived but was taken to the hospital. Sad story to hear. But poor bus just saw an overhaul not more than a year ago.

Just change the resolution of the photo to reduce its size. Also 7861 was on 87 today, so it is not retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severe damage to the front, worse than 1510. Thankfully the Operator survived but was taken to the hospital. Quite bad damage done to the front end. The driver was lucky to only sustain minor injuries in that collision. I would not go around stating 1405 is "done" until there is some official confirmation. A bunch of the previous hybrids that had collisions were retired when the fleet plan suggested they would only be around for another year or two, so it wouldn't be worth fixing (and now that they've had all their parts stripped off, not worth reassembling during a rebuild). I'm not saying it will come back, but I'd prefer to wait for someone to officially write it off rather than a judgement based on a newspaper photo at an accident scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit it may have been better to say "probably done" but my judgement was not based on a newspaper photo, it was based on actually inspecting the bus after it was towed back to Mt Dennis. Everything forward of the the operators seat is demolished top to bottom and inside. Many of these parts are no longer available. To save this bus, the front would have to be taken from another bus and the labour involved would be very costly. At this point it will make a very good parts bus. If the bean counters decide to fix it, I will post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar_AC_23 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 The following units are decommissioned OGs that are still at Eglinton: 7480, 7706, 7512, 7433, 7450, 7638, 7637, 7683, 7502, 7541, 7675, 7601, 7596, 7558. I was unable to spot 7647 but other than that one any of the other OGs that were sitting at Eglinton before are no longer there and were most likely towed to the scrapyard already.

T3G Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 7474, 7684 and 7689 must have been the units that were hauled off. 7689 was the bus closest to the gate that Leyland reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar_AC_23 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Here is an update on the decommissioned OGs at Eglinton: 7637, 7433, 7706 are by the east side of the garage 7683, 7596, 7647, 7558 are by the railway tracks 7502 was being towed away (most likely to the scrapyard) All of the other units 7480, 7512, 7450, 7638, 7541, 7675, 7601 were most likely towed away to the scrapyard already I also saw 7741 at Eglinton in the shops (might be getting decommissioned but we'll have to wait and see what happens) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3G Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I presume 7606 is long gone as well? 7741 is reporting back at Birchmount; I suspect it was at Eglinton for similar reasons to 7861. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar_AC_23 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yes 7606 is gone to scrap as well. 7637 and 7683 are also gone to scrap. 7647 was towed away from Eglinton today to the scrapyard. 7804 was stripped and is sitting by the railway tracks at Eglinton so it is now decommissioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the run numbers but I know the route that 7474 was on because I was on that bus on its last day in service. It was route 116A Morningside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar_AC_23 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 7433, 7558, 7804 are no longer at Eglinton and were most likely towed to the scrapyard on the weekend. 7596, 7706, 7854 are the only decommissioned OGs left at Eglinton. 7596 and 7706 are by the railway tracks and 7854 is by the east entrance beside the fence by Lebovic Avenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
