Don't think its 22301. Might be a different one that has yet to enter service. Plus the show is already set up for tomorrow and 22301 is in service.

Last year Attridge and a limo company did the shuttle service. It is not known what will be used.

Transsee is the one I use for tracking.

Another One Bites the dust! Thanks for keeping us updated on what's going on there. Not very many go out there

Unfortunately not. Most of them had parts missing off them.

Was at the yard a few days ago and seen a lot of retired 85 series J4500's and some 86 series as well There was also a damaged Van Hool. There was also an 83 on property with no plates. Did they order any new buses to replace what has been retired?

Been mentioned a few times but it looks like they only got two of them. They did in the past as well with a Nova a few years back.

It got work done to it so it wont sound the same...

Check Transsee, it is very handy for seeing what buses are out on the road.

Van Hool has been declared bankrupt but it seems the company will be taken over by Dutch VDL and German Schmitz Cargobull there is more information in the link. https://www.sustainable-bus.com/news/van-hool-bankruptcy/

289 (Built October 2023) & 292 (Possibly built 2024) are delivered. There are 7 buses for this order. Mobility bus 46 is in service.

Not necessarily true. If they can't get parts then they may have to start salvaging parts from other buses to keep the more better condition ones running. Parts wise it will be very difficult but battery wise it should be not too much of a problem.

Looks like 8653 was returned to Eglinton as well.

I wonder if they're being prepped for use on different routes in the coming future. It was a very odd thing for them to buy as they are only 30 ft long. I wonder if they're going to be used on any of the BusPlus routes.

Inactivity?

I wonder if the owners get a cut from the ad revenue. Stratford leased a D40LF in 2019 and had ads. In the past leased buses did not have ads yes. But with changing times for money and the owners of these buses probably allowed ot to happen. I wont be surprised if most of the buses are scrapped after the lease is done.

Vahool ditches the Electric Bus. Can't keep up with the competition it says. They also are seeking creditor protection as they seem to be heading for bankruptcy. From what it looks like they will be next on the chopping block.

Someone mentioned they are being numbered in the 6000 series. I personally thought they would have used the 2000 series as well.

In the Nova Bus thread maybe. It matters to bus enthusiasts and spotters. Lots of history in Transit and every vehicle.

Wouldn't the XDE40s be numbered the same as the conventional units? (2401 and up)

Hoping just the regular livery. You don't need to have special wraps or any of that. YRT doesnt have a special wrap anymore except for the LFSe.

I noticed no Vicinity buses have been out for the past few days.

Thanks for that info. I think he was asking about major changes but that works. I never noticed the small differences. Always looked at the major stuff. Orion gave what noticeable difference are between both.

No changes to the outside. The EPA07 and EPA10 are just the different emission standards.
