transportationtoronto Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Would it make sense to put a bus on the island (semi) permanently? Like put a 79xx down there until it needs repairs that need to be done on the mainland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been eyeing the threads over the past while, and noticed that 8428 hasn’t received vision. Though I noticed that the bus was noted as transferred from Queensway to Birchmount without confirmation. Can anyone dig up more info on this bus in question?

It's been at Hillcrest for a couple of weeks, and there was a rumour going around last week that it would be used as the prototype for the 40 foot Nova rebuild.

Highly doubt it, it's only been in service for around 4 years. TTC usually sends out buses for rebuild every 6 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar_AC_23 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) If anything, #8400 should be the prototype bus for the 40ft nova rebuilds considering that it's been on property since February 2015. #8428 hasn't gone to Birchmount at all yet and has been at Hillcrest since January. Edited March 20, 2019 by Shemar corrected #8400 delivery date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first of each bus fleet in the last decade or so (with the exception of 9370 for it being the supposed candidate rebuild for that batch of CNG buses) has not been used as the guinea pig for fleet refurbishment. I would assume that they pull a bus that’s due for heavy repair work, and go off on that to build a list of work in detail to refurbish the rest of that fleet 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar_AC_23 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 #9125 has been MIA for quite a while and has been at Hillcrest for a few months. Could it possibly be going through refurbishment now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 It may not be fixed. 1330 was a refurbished bus, and it was condemned for similar damage to the curbside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with the knowledge we have I am not surprised about that but surprised they have a student in general help with something like that. If you get what I mean.
