bus_7246 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I went looking briefly this morning if I could see W112, but she wasn’t visible from Lake Shore Blvd. I did see that W167 is done though. Fleet numbers peeled off and no licence plate Link to post Share on other sites
bus_7246 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 A lot of wheel-trans buses were inside Harvey Shop this evening. - W248 was being stripped of old decals (prepping stages prior to repainting) - W275 was in a bay beside W248 with the side windows, hood and front fenders removed - W288 is now repainted (W288 was where W248 currently is at the moment last week) awaiting decals - W277 has also been repainted, with a new set of decals freshly applied - W203 (an already repainted unit) looks to be in a retired state since all TTC logos, fleet numbers and wheel-trans branding have all been peeled off. The licence plates has also been removed as well - W246, I guess, may be sitting and waiting its turn for refurbishment as well outside the north side of Harvey Shops Link to post Share on other sites

Or are they planning on keeping a stack of them? Link to post Share on other sites

leylandvictory2 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 The newest generation of wheel trans vehicle has arrived and in service. Spotted W700 yesterday at Don Mills Station. It is a Dodge Promaster cutaway van. I believe it is identical to the demo presented to TTC earlier this year. Sadly, I didn't have time to stop and check it out. I wouldn't be surprise if it is a hybrid. I haven't seen an old livery Ford Friendly wheel trans bus lately, I guess TTC has the refurnblished ones left and their dates are numbered. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Regular visitor to malvern for disinfection. It’s not a hybrid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Eren Jaeger Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Over the past few days, I spotted over 3 Wheel-Trans SLF II vehicles sporting a new LFLRV livery: #W218, #W226, #W236 1 Link to post Share on other sites
