Birchmount got some 7900s from Arrow Rd till the 8100s got sent there. During the rebuilt, Birchmount were assigned the majority of the fleet as high as the 818x. Of course 30-50 of them were physically at Hillcrest.

Would the 8300-8396 bus fleet ever be relocated to another division or are they permanent to Wilson?

Umm maybe if they get some new buses, they could send them to the only other division that still has Orion VII diesels. Hmmm....mmmmm... Queensway. HANDMEDOWNS woohoooo!!!!!!

The 8100-8219 order was all delivered to Wilson when new. Sometime in 2014-2015, they were split up and Birchmount received a good number of them

Birchmount started getting 8100s earlier than that. 8102 and 8103 moved in December 2010. More moved over in 2011 and the amount increased and decreased over the years until 2018 when they all went back to WIlson.

Just spotted 1086 on TTC route 94A at Harbord and Spadina.

Could this have been to maintain reliability during the CUPE/OPSEU demonstration at Queen’s Park?

There's currently 3 detours listed on the 94; the demonstration plus two watermain breaks. Tough day on the route for sure.

1086 is not tracking on a run, so it seems likely it's a RAD/cover bus to cover for all the detours.
