Chris B Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I stopped by at Hillcrest for the first time this year and notice parts bus 2345 is no where to be seen. It must have been moved somewhere else or inside Harvey Shop being stripped for 8058. Notice hybrid buses took over the spot where 2345 use to be which is west side of Harvey facing east.

FlyerD901 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 So I saw for myself buses at each garage, Micnicoll is now an Active bus garage, with 2252 being the first and currently only bus listed at Micnicoll. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly McNicoll is looking to take the "OMG old hand me down buses argh argh argh" title from Queensway. With 2252, they have a pretty good chance for that. Link to post Share on other sites
wil9402 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 It's listed as a McNicoll unit, but 2252 is still being store at Malvern for now it seems. I spotted it this morning parked in its usual spot inside Malvern. Link to post Share on other sites

Chris B Posted October 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I stopped by at Hillcrest this morning and here are the sightings: 2444 has been moved somewhere in the complex. Most likely inside Harvey Shop I presume? It's an empty spot where 2444 use to be. 2345 is now parked west side of Harvey Shop, facing east. I can tell it was 2345 because of the missing engine and rear window. Link to post Share on other sites

Eren Jaeger Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 #2252 paid a visit to Birchmount today. They used it for the retirement of the operator who started in 1993. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

7749 Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 Not sure if this is the right thread but anyways... While I was working at Hillcrest last week on Friday I noticed 2345 and another unknown fishbowl (which i'd assume is 8058) near 1376. 8058's engine is missing and I think 2345's was as well Link to post Share on other sites

PCC Guy Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 51 minutes ago, Chris B said: 2252 at TTC McNicoll Garage this morning. Not to be a rivet counter, but your description referring to 2252's retirement date is wrong. The bus was the Toronto Island shuttle until April 2012, and it was used for the Spadina bus promotion on July 5. Also I don't think it's accurate to say the bus is retired at all. Removed from revenue service, sure, but it's still an active part of the TTC's property. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

At one time on Flickr I was looking at the photos of 2252 at the 2018 CUTA event and it had a description at the front of the bus saying it was retired December 2011 (something like that). I will remove the retirement notice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
D. DeLarge Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 It’s “Retired from regular service”, which would be a more accurate description of 2252’s status. That’s usually what people mean when they say a vehicle or fleet is retired, especially in a transit context where an active vehicle can get sent out for service to haul passengers at any time. Chances are, 2252 won’t be putting in any appearances on the 19 (6) Bay or 90 Vaughan to handle rush-hour crowds like it used to. It’s all semantics anyway. Similar to the H4’s which were all “retired” (from revenue service) years ago despite some being retained as work cars and seeing very regular use on the TTC in work car duty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MTA-(T)-Train Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Really random question, but this Wiki page suggests unit 2326 is still around on TTC property too (along with 2252, 2345, 2444, and 8058). Is that still the case? Link to post Share on other sites
