Mar_AC_23 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Does anyone know if the remaining repainted 15xx-16xx will be canned as well or are they here to stay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t 1650 brought back into service a long with 1500 months back? Idk if the rest of the 15xx+ repainted unrebuilt units will last into 2021.

Idk if the rest of the 15xx+ repainted unrebuilt units will last into 2021. True, but they will never see regular service again. with ridership flatlined, there’s no reason to maintain a @2000 unit fleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it on Caledonia about a week and a half ago, took a picture because it didn't have a bike rack. Maybe it was transferring back to a garage?

Mar_AC_23 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I can confirm that the EMS/COVID buses that return to service do get the bike racks reinstalled. I saw #1274 this evening on the 134 with a functional bike rack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTCNLFBT Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 I would add Orion VII 8058 as an active bus. The tracker has been reactivated and the bus has been moved around at Queensway Garage. I stopped by at Queensway this morning, I was unable to see the bus. It is parked either behind 8097 or Airport wrapped bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked by queensway today and saw that 7957 is in the spot 8058 is tracking as. 8058 is still in the same spot at queensway, with the rear cover lifted, and in the very corner. Not the best photo but the bus in the very front of that photo is 8058.  Also 7956 is right behind 7957. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, your right. I was comparing photos and notice 8058 is in the same spot back in July. I guess 7957 has 8058's tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 1311 looks to be finished. The traction motor popped, and they don’t plan on replacing it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
