    End of a era for the Niagara Region, the entire orion series have been seen in the deadlot and confirmed retired. It's all Novas and some flyers now.

    that was fast, 2191 was just out yesterday 

  2. don't know if WEGO still applies under this topic, but it appears Niagara Parks has taken the remaining units that were operated previously by NF, 5301 is now operating as 9016 and 9017-9021 were 5201, 5205, and 5208-5210 respectively

    At the minimum, it was the oldest active Orion in Ontario, and probably holds an Ontario record for the longest a bus has spent with one owner since the GM Fishbowl days.

    certainly for the longest-lived Detroit-powered ones

    The end of an area, R.I.P NFT Orion VII OGs; 2003 - 2025.

    when was 2679 last in service?

    myself last saw it this past Monday at the Morrison Hub where the standby buses park

    What is with all the maintenance issues with transit right now? It seems like they're happening more than usual.

    College express 60A/C were cancelled again this morning. Yesterday, 103 Extra had a delayed start and the 40/45A originating in Niagara Falls was cancelled in the morning.

    and the new buses won't be out anytime soon once they show up as NT reportedly didn't order them with the driver shields pre-installed 

    on the NF side of things, 1930, 1864, 1396, 1606 and 2124 are all out of service awaiting work

    Welland as well.

    1396 spotted downtown Welland with a strange destination blind typo. Anyone ever hear of route 75 to Niagara Falls?PXL_20250128_201243933.thumb.jpg.cc6b72f4f4e4e562970e91bc87ae908e.jpg

    they had the same issues with the '75 Niagara Falls ' signs when they started using NF's conventional units on WEGO routes last year

  7. in better news, 1396 is back active in NF after being out of service for over 2 years

    Just heard from a Welland driver that Niagara Falls/Welland division has lost another bus. One was just involved in a collision on Dorchester at Dianne Street in the falls this afternoon. I'm waiting to hear which unit it was. No word on injuries or extent of the damage.

    just saw on Niagara 411, it was a Nova on the 50 vs a pickup, from the posted video the truck took the worst of it

    Lately, Welland has been running 2470, so I would assume neither of those units has left the yard (relegated to emergency backup fleet), or they're running with broken trackers in Niagara Falls.

    2368 is sitting in the NF yard awaiting work, the whereabouts of 2679 is unknown
