What is a SOGR? Sounds like Russian Cottage Cheese.

State of good repair is similar to an MTO except the scope also entails clearing off all the little squeak and rattle stuff before it piles up. Or at least that’s the intent.

I saw munro's plan and it looks like they will keep about 55 of the 8000s until 2021

I get the 7900's are getting whacked this year but the 8000's over the 1000's seems a bit odd since they are built in 2007 and a "clean" diesel. But then again, I ain't no bus doctor.

Most of the 1500s and 1600s and all of the 1700s and 1800s are getting retired before the 7900s, so let's wait and see what happens to the 8000s.

Yes it seems they took out the worst of the Hybrids first. The 1000 series were proven more reliable than anything it seems. To be honest they may start scraping away at both the 7900s and the 8000s all together.

#1538, #1572, #1582, #1585, #1592, #1622, #1643, #1645, #1650 are some units to look out for.

I passed by Malvern it looks like 1572 is retired its been pulled out of service the same time units 114 1519 1520 were pulled out of service for decommissioning. did you mean 1593? 1592 has since been sent to the scrap yard when I reported it. also add 1580 as a unit to look out for as well.

That was a typo. #1593 might be getting vision installed.

But why have this done on a bus that is going to be scrapped soon?

Ther repairs are small and relatively inexpensive. It’s not like they’re overhauling the thing. The man hours of labour are already budgeted to SOGR, the vehicles selected are generally pretty random.
