Kelvin3157 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 It's just the bumpers that are missing... The service summary didn't list that they were retired... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's been stated numerous times before by others that there are a lot of rumours that go on amongst employees. Best to wait for something official. As for retired status, I do not believe they are retired from that photo. You need to remove the engines from the bus in order to rebuild them, and considering there are two other bus series being rebuilt currently (the 12xx are wrapping up and the 15xx hybrids are beginning their rebuild) there may just not be enough room to be doing bodywork and repainting for these unpowered shells right now. All three of those buses still have their license plates attached - the license plates are usually one of the first things removed from a bus once it gets retired. FYI, those buses in the photo were last in service in mid-September, so they've been gone for two months. While some units were out of service for slightly under 2 months for their rebuild, some were out for 4.5 to 6 months - and prototype 8159 was out of service from September 2015 until January 2017. All depends on how busy Hillcrest is for other rebuilds, and what issues a particular bus may be having that complicates its rebuild. 8 minutes ago, Kelvin3157 said: It's just the bumpers that are missing... The service summary didn't list that they were retired... The rear bumper is attached to the engine rather than the bus frame/body, so when the engine gets removed, the bumper goes with it. In that picture you can see that there isn't anything behind the bumper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a mistake, 7693 did have the "7693" written on it's back, but it's the back LED sign that was taken off. But as of today, it now looks like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
