The bus can’t be in revenue service as the unit still has the COVID Vaccination wrap, and interior seats are missing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4 5600 Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 That video is from over 2 years ago, you can tell by the MiWay terminal in the background still being under construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toro Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Do they still store buses at 1810? Seems like the building in the middle is active and a bunch of non revenue vehicles are now there. If not where will decommissioned or extra buses be stored now at malvern and where will scrap towing take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I have it from a credible internal source at Queensway that the EMS/vaccine buses are now being cycled through for decommissioning. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsview34. Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 It’s sad to say, 7961 has been stripped 7953 is next. Just pulled into the garage to get stripped down 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powertrain was stripped along with access panels that could be retained for the fleet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunnelrat Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 This morning a bus caught fire leaving Malvern I think it was 1315 it looked like the roof battery was what caught fire. I think we can call this bus retired 1216 is the bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunnelrat Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 Yes I guess I read the number wrong when I drove by. It was a new paint job orion I'm sure someone else will chime in with the fleet number later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a plan to consolidate all the NG HEVs to Malvern and eventually phase them out if new deliveries were to happen? There are rumors that the 81/82xx VII NG diesels may move to Queensway to replace the 79/80xx OG VIIs while the 3G VIIs will remain at Wilson. Wishful thinking but @Genius101 won’t be happy if Queensway gets some 32/33xx from McNicoll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would just keep them that way till there are down to a few dozen of NGs left. Wilson’s handful of NGs should move first. Let’s hope the delivers complete before all the Orions break down.

Not taking transit? If that's an option for you, then feel free to do that and spare us your self righteous screeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
