So the 1000 lasting a bit longer because their hybrid despite new buses at the same divsion. I wouldn't put it past a political stunt. But that's me with my tin foil hat on. Who would had thought a few years back that the Orion Hybrids would have lasted their entire intended lifespan of 18 years. A handful of active ones are already past 18 years. The 8000s are a whole year newer. Maybe they are keeping the repainted buses and the public won't notice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elijah bey Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 I think 8098 will be the last 8000's bus to be in service. It's on 301B Queen Now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toro Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Is it time to call it in? 8098 was officially the last ever TTC OG Diesel to ever run in revenue service on July 27th 2024 at 4:30 am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Flyer Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 I wouldn’t call it in yet. An 8000 might show up on a PM run today. But the end is just around the corner, if not already gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius101 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 1 hour ago, Mar_AC_23 said: The rest of the active OG diesels have been pulled from service We knew it was coming but it’s very disappointing that the end happened in the blink of an eye. There wasn’t even an announcement they didn’t want to have too many transit nerds make a fuss about it so they kept it low key. Felt like it was a rapid mass retirement for the last 20 or so remaining active units which were all pulled from service this month. I’m glad I decided to ride 8086 for fun last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerD901 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Couple 7900s on the island.

The 8000 are a whole year newer than the 1000, but with all the breaks downs of the 1000s they had in the begining, I'm sure the 8000 have more milage on them. But after all these years, the difference in mileage might not be much. It also helps that there was 150 1000 , so more chance of spares to persevere some of the mileage. Either way, end of an era. How many 1000s are still active? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyerD901 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 8051 will be used for Caribana. But I doubt some will trek down there just for that bus. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they preserve 8097, but if they don’t, 8063 is another good option. It rides well and has the NG stop request bell. 31 minutes ago, FlyerD901 said: 8051 will be used for Caribana.

The Queensway Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Technically now the NG Hybrids are now the only active buses with the CLRV livery. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Flyer Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 (edited) All of the remaining OG diesels are now retired as they have been moved to North Queen. The only remaining units at Queensway are 8025 and 8072. Can anyone confirm the locations of 8063, 8076, 8079, and 8091? Additionally, can anyone also confirm which NG diesel units are now retired?

GZ6113PHEV5 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Are the 1000s not equipped with diesel particulate filters like the 8000s are? If so the 8000s are actually more “environmental-friendly” than the 1000s even though they are hybrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genially I’m kinda surprised nobody in the Mount Dennis neighbourhood sent noise complaints. (Maybe I could be wrong.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar_AC_23 Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 8158 is at North Queen so that one is probably one of the retired NGs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
