leylandvictory2 Report post Posted May 3, 2015 one Eglinton bus was definitely involved in an engine fire westbound at Midland and Eglinton last Tuesday. From what I heard it was 7412 that was involved in an engine. Thankfully the driver deployed the fire suppression system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bus_Medic Report post Posted May 7, 2015 Even if he didn't press the button, there are multiple sensors in the engine compartment that will deploy it for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leylandvictory2 Report post Posted May 7, 2015 7412 is back. So I guess the engine fire is relatively minor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xtrazsteve Report post Posted May 7, 2015 Nextbus says 1811 is back after being Mia for 2 months. Buses like 1094 and 1726 are still Mia. Bus_medic, maybe you know something about them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raptorjays Report post Posted May 8, 2015 For Mount Dennis, I haven't seen 1643 on any of the bus tracker app since January. Is it dead? or retired? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xtrazsteve Report post Posted May 8, 2015 For Mount Dennis, I haven't seen 1643 on any of the bus tracker app since January. Is it dead? or retired? You can't just visit transsee once a day to track buses. It involves sighting that bus and tracking it at different times of the day. 1643 was on the 161 yesterday according to nextbus. Unless it's a catastrophic bus fire, all Orion VII's are to be repaired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leylandvictory2 Report post Posted May 8, 2015 actually it depends on the cost of repairing the bus. If cost exceed the value of the bus, it won't be repaired. For example an Orion 6 fell off the hoist, it was written off after that accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PCC Guy Report post Posted May 31, 2015 Nextbus says 1811 is back after being Mia for 2 months. Buses like 1094 and 1726 are still Mia. Bus_medic, maybe you know something about them? A question for you guys - is there a site with info from past Nextbus feeds, or do you only note a bus is MIA by checking on TransSee frequently? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xtrazsteve Report post Posted May 31, 2015 A question for you guys - is there a site with info from past Nextbus feeds, or do you only note a bus is MIA by checking on TransSee frequently? No that I know of, the only way is to track it yourself day and night. You can write your own program to track it day and night. 1811 is back a few weeks ago. 1094 and 1726 are still dead to this day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leylandvictory2 Report post Posted June 15, 2015 So all you need to do is to power wash the engine and refill the suppression powder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
