FabianColeyLOVESBUSES Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 I would like to confirm that 1571 1821 are retired. 1821 is stripped and 1571 has its presto readers removed waiting to be stripped of parts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Since the previous conversation was in this thread, here's an update on ex-7900-7905, the TPS converted buses... Last night 4 of the buses were downtown for Nuit Blanche, serving their new purpose as road blocks. They are numbered ES-0 to ES-5 and labeled for "Events Support", and oddly also have the Toronto/Ontario/Canada logos on the rear, similar to other buses in the new LFLRV livery. They have retained their TTC license plates, which makes tracking their former fleet # a lot easier. The four that were out have the last digit match their 790x number (aka ES-0 was 7900), so I'd assume 7901 and 7905 are now ES-1 and ES-5 respectively. The buses are not numbered externally btw, only visible fleet numbers are on the interior front panel. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2044 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 It should also be noted that the buses have their original numbers near the build plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a funny way to wrap a bus whose main purpose (as far as I know) is to say "Yo! Big bus in the way!" I assume the white stripe is reflective, but it's still not the look that I would choose.

7749 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I have summed up the OG's I believe are most likely retired, but I am not yet 100% sure on some of them: 7730, 7737, 7744, 7758, 7772, 7775, 7847, 7837. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Pendergrast Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure 7727 is retired. Tracker is inactive and was removed from service 2 days ago due to its emissions being too toxic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it hasn’t been in service for two days doesn’t mean it’s near retirement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you should really check the tracker BEFORE you post. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabianColeyLOVESBUSES Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I would like to confirm that 1543 is now stripped and 1598 should be retired since it had no presto readers on it. 1740 might be done too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are reassigned/exclusive to TPS uses. Whether that be for event shuttle or roadblock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
