Blake M Posted June 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Don't know if anyone can confirm but are the bike racks being taken off the retired units and put onto other active units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling too that the bike racks from 7981-7986 came from the 7700s that are now retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda unfortunate, could have been a profitable investment if it did run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechSpotlight Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 The bus in the photo is definitely not 7720 based on the decal size/placement. More than likely the bus in the photo is 7717. But otherwise, nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 So is 7777 still on property? When I was a spare boarder this was considered a cursed bus as whoever had it seem to have issues, and I don't mean breakdowns, just something would happen. I finally got it not long before leaving transit and I have to admit I was not happy. Towards the end I thought I was going to escape but then the director of CT got on. Boy talk about stress level going up! By the way wasn't this one of the ones that was supposed to have been a D40i but the order was changed to D40LF?

Never really liked that bus. As far as I know, its still on property! 7713 has now showed up at the CPS yard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a number like that, it should have been the luckiest; wonder if its TTC counterpart is? A jinxed number would be 6666 or 666. Winnipeg for one uses 666 freely; apparently they don't believe in superstitious nonsense there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armorand Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Curious - will 7964-7980 ever return to service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Meu Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 I figured id mention this, since it really hasn't been talked about: 7783 has not been seen since April 8 of this year (while not a 2001, its close enough). Even though its not confirmed, I have suspicions it may not come back into service again. Perhaps keep an eye to see where this bus ends up, as this would be the first 2002 to retire (not including premature retirements). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechSpotlight Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) MIA units - updated as of November 2, 2021 7700 series units not active within 3-4 weeks: 7718 (Oct 6, 2021) changed off on all day piece 7762 (Oct 7, 2021) completed an all day piece 7700 series units not active in more than a month: 7760 (Aug 12, 2021) completed all day piece 7771 (Aug 20, 2021) changed off on all day piece *UPDATE - RETURNED TO SERVICE 11/19/2021* 7783 (Apr 8, 2021) changed off on all day piece *UPDATE - NOW RETIRED* Also worthy of keeping an eye out: 7765 (Oct 18, 2021) last tracked at 5:42, likely broke down before it entered service. Please keep an eye on all these units if possible. Edited November 19, 2021 by TechSpotlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Meu Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I have received word from another member on here that 7783 is now sitting at recon metals. It’s officially retired now (and will be scrapped within a week or so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
