TTC Orion VII Retirements


Recommended Posts

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.

Yo, that's sick. She looks so stealthy. 

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.

From knowledge, it was painted. Rims too

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. 

7847 has been MIA for 3 days. Maybe a mech shop hold.

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

It’s on 12C right now. Just because it hasn’t been in service for two days doesn’t mean it’s near retirement

Yup I can definitely confirm 7727 is NOT retired. You know you should really check the tracker BEFORE you post.7727.thumb.PNG.67d2e60fada2ed14abde033c2978483e.PNG

If these area TPS buses why retain the TTC logo.

As per my co-worker at Bmount, 7730 and 7772 are confirmed retired.
