Could just being doings it layover and vision just set the sign to blank or the driver did just have the engine off, was it a Orion or a Nova?

They tend to do that, even where I am. But before I go into that, I’d like to point out that Littles Rd. was spelled way too wrong. Actually this afternoon, the driver of 1331, parked the bus for 15 minutes, sign was on and the engine was running. So different drivers do their layovers differently

(though except for the Nova’s, remember Stop-Start Hybrid Technology, that explains why the engine in a LFS HEV stops when it’s in park for more than a minute)

Bus is on a layover. Some runs get 15 minutes so yes bus gets shut off.

You're supposed to shut down the bus if it will be sitting for a while especially in a residential area like that. Exception being when it's cold or very hot and there are people on the bus.

Yeah no. It doesn't always stop after a minute.

TTC 3523 was at Finch West Station this afternoon training the operators from arrow road garage. I spoke to the instructor when the bus went to layover and he said arrow road should be getting buses from the 3570 to 3654 bus order or it might get split between arrow road and mt dennis.

Well that’s good to hear, saying that Mt.Dennis might lose their 1500 and 1600 series bus eventually, though it’s unlikely that may happen due to all of them there being rebuilt (trust me, I’ve been near Mt.Dennis before I’ve seen a glimpse of some of them)

Not all of the 15 16 were rebuilt, some were just repainted. So no, some may be retired.
