Toronto Transportation Society TTC Orion VII 7400 Fan Trip

On April 8, 2017 the Toronto Transportation Society chartered 2002 Orion VII 7400 for a tour of the northwest end of the City of Toronto and City of Vaughan.

Great video! Thanks for sharing! That yellow and burgundy fish bowl brings back cool childhood memories.

[@fares-please]

72defender Definitely loved the old colours! Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@AirplaneFreak]

Oh that is so awesome. I hope they preserve some Orion VIIs.

[@transitpics]

AirplaneFreak they will probably cause there are so many Orion VII Diesels.

[@AirplaneFreak]

At least Belka has two Classics. I love the VIIs as much as the Classics and New Looks. I really hope so but preserving one I hear is expensive.

[@schnuurtchke]

Are you guys going to organize a charter for the 2006 and 2007 Orion VII Cummins buses?

[@fares-please]

That would be nice. Haven’t heard any plans however.

[@Hawker5796]

I was on that charter as well. That's the back of my head around the 1:22 mark.

[@fares-please]

Hawker5796 Cool! I try to also get people who attend also. Good memories for years from now

[@Hawker5796]

Indeed!

[@kai_b1156]

Hawker5796 lol I just paused to randomly read comments and I’m at 1:22

i always wonderd what is the small number box near the door for ...sometimes i see the driver change

[@Buzzlybee]

It's called a runbox, it's sort of a callsign for TTC operators which is changed every shift.

[@funkydung.]

@@Buzzlybee thanks for the info

[@lvalledor1368]

where did that ex-TTC GM New Look come from? Id really love to see that again I'd be as nostalgic as those transit enthusiasts

[@fares-please]

L Valledor Rapido Trains owns that bus and they were kind enough to bring it out for photographs when we were at York University

[@lvalledor1368]

Bradley O'Brien lucky you caught it & big thumbs up to Rapido Trains for preserving a historic machine ☺☺

[@harps1974]

Rapido trains bought from Calgary notice the blue inside the bus..
