Shaun Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 When they have crew members move buses from different divisions, how do they get back? Or to their next task? Do they take a cab? Or are there buses going from division to division all day getting people from division to division all day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically the receiving garage will send a single bus out with all the techs needed to bring the migrating units over, sometimes in two or more trips if manpower requirements limit how many the foreman can delegate to the movement. Ultimately it’s at their discretion how and when it gets carried out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time I was near Queensway Garage and 7921 was driving around with that "S P E C I A L" sign put up. Just the other day on Friday or Thursday I think 8042 was the "shuttle" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar_AC_23 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 That's why the best way to confirm anything is through personal sightings and physical evidence, not hearsay. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of sightings, I came back from the junkyard to replace my Corolla’s door handle and around Myrtle Road in Whitby, I saw one of the TTC Orion’s VII NG hybrid being towed today most likely to Langilles. Idk the number since it was 100ft away from where I was and the truck was turning left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC4120fan Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Sightings from Hillcrest: 1632 and the other 2 stripped hybrids have been replaced by a 13xx and 1231 (which is missing a panel). 1514 and 1619 have been replaced by 1810 and 2 new paint 16xx’s which appear to be 1665 and 1683. All are missing parts. I can’t confirm if the 2 new paint units are 1665 and 1683, but considering that these 2 have been missing for quite a whiles and that there are no other retired repainted units that are stripped, I would guess that it is these 2. 7575 has been moved over a spot and has been rotated. I can’t tell if it is missing more parts or not because it is being blocked by a work truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like musical chairs and twister is happening with bus allocations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabianColeyLOVESBUSES Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 1665 was last tracking at hillcrest a number of weeks ago. The bus was towed to Malvern a few days before going to hillcrest afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bus along with 1665 1810 are going to be at hillcrest alittle longer they use as much parts from the retired hybrids before sending them to scrap like units 1514 1619 they were at hillcrest when they retired at Malvern division back in march this year before being sent to the scrap I believe sometime in august. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTC4120fan Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 There was a row of Orions in the old paint at Hillcrest, with a stripped hybrid at the front. There may have been a few Diesel OG and a couple more hybrids as well. I am not sure what any of their numbers are, and if those other units behind the stripped hybrid are stripped as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
