That's kinda how HCRR got started. If I had a million dollars, that'll be the first thing I do, and then get a jet pack that runs on Mountain Dew Here is a funny thing I noticed, chaps. When I looked on the roof, the HVAC vent was removed off of a lot of VIIs while I saw 7575's and it was not. (She was on 17 a week ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did they bite off more than they could chew? The owner had an accident and it's been put on hiatus. It's slowly corroding, having been exposed to the elements and parked at the same spot for a few months or so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people at the garage it's stored at haven't been able to contact anyone and they've been wanting the bus gone for months now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 And then they were 15: #7709, #7719 (121A), #7763, #7782 (505), #7789 (16), #7792 (113), #7808, #7811, #7821, #7833 (12B), #7838 (113), #7846 (12A), #7848 (505), #7879 (505), and #7883. #7773 appears to be finished and presumably retired. Disregard, one is still kicking and 16 still remain: #7709, #7719 , #7763, #7773, #7782, #7789, #7792, #7808, #7811, #7821, #7833, #7838, #7846), #7848, #7879, and #7883.

It ain't done yet. 7773 was inactive for around 4 days before coming back in service in that exact same spot, I doubt it's done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.A Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Waste of buses! Why was it that the last GM New Looks retired just a few years ago, but the still relatively modern Orion VII buses are heading out now? Makes no sense. The Head of the TTC should step down immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're acting like the TTC has a choice. How are they unreliable? What's their MBDFs? Our NG hybrids and CNGs are fairly dependable here in New York (despite NICE's lack of proper TLC on the latter group of NGs). As for the OG's, I call BS, cause again, the GM New Looks were in service as late as 2012 IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsview 108 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 So that's 3 CPTDB foamers on suicide watch. Stay tuned, they may just jump into the compacting machine with those buses. 7 minutes ago, Chris.A said: How are they unreliable? What's their MBDFs?

The Head of the TTC should step down immediately. Name one other series of bus that lasted as long as the GMs. The NGs could last as long as the GMs if the commission were so inclined. Trouble is, they're garbage, and frankly the only reason the GMs lasted as long as they did was because they were forced to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GM's survived so long because back then, the government wasn't giving the TTC boatloads of money to buy new shiny ones.
