That's the secret part of your purview. If it were up to me, all the 79s would be in a convoy headed east tonight. What gets sent to replace them is beyond my pay scale. Crybabies gonna cry regardless. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Queensway Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 According to a Instagram post, as of yesterday 8045 was towed off of TTC property heading to the scrap yard. It's been alleged that it's drivetrain was given to 8064. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly genuinely pains me to see the Orion VII's retire tbh and I personally disagree very strongly with the opinion of "took 'em long enough." On 11/15/2021 at 10:51 AM, Bus_Medic said: The 2006s have held up far better than the 2007-09s, but the nova hybrids win hands down. I hard disagree with your opinion. The 2006s are by far the best and are way more impressive than the nova's in my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be reassuring if the ttc didn't install luggage racks on 3330 to start replacing the current airport buses. (according to the cptdb wiki.)

No passengers, it was a deadhead that finished 40 at DW stn and decided to use the gardiner to deadhead back to the division. But yes, hope the operator is alright. I also agree that it's likely it'll be used as a parts bus since the recent 8045 went for scrap, i'm sure they most likely need another bus to replace that parts bus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
