The ad says guess lol. In all seriousness, I don't think I've seen 1314 around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it'll be back on the streets alive and kicking soon if that is the case and not straight into retirement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not conclusively. It’s been in the same spot through the snowstorms (Jan 8). I’ll visually confirm this tomorrow Update: it’s not retired. It’s still awaiting a part for replacement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure as to why, but I would assume that it’s also awaiting a part that’s in short supply 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc.transit Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 So I just asked a reliable source on the whereabouts of 8065, and they are saying it’s retired and not with TTC and is with Toronto Island Shuttle. Would like to know if anyone else heard about this as I’ve been wanting to update 8065s info on the wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to know if anyone else heard about this as I’ve been wanting to update 8065s info on the wiki. The bus assigned to the Toronto Island is still part of the TTC's fleet. They generally need to be rotated out every 3-6 months for maintenance and inspections, and return to their home garage for that to be completed (while another bus gets sent out to replace it). The last time TTC had "non-revenue" buses on the Island duty was from 2008-2010, when Classics 6221 and 6223 were kept specifically for that purpose. Ever since then it's generally just been a random unit from the TTC's oldest fleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s touting a stagnant tracker, if it’s still alive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
