G.A Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Articulated said: Not even Stratford would have purchased a 21 year old bus, especially considering the many newer options on the market. Plus, they are not up to unit 91 yet (newest purchased unit was #78). I suspect it is more a case of one unit having a new GPS unit installed that wasn't reprogrammed with the proper unit number. Are there any known active units that haven't tracked in service in the last little while? Only one of the school specials currently tracks. The other three do not. I was looking more at tracking number error. I have seen that number on the tracker a few times so I wonder if it's 9765 or 9767. 9764 and 9773 have tracked in the #1 Special (that is trackable) and rarely conventional routes. Once things calm down again I will go up and investigate. That bus was tracking on the number 6 yesterday and now the number 5 today so I wonder if they're running some sort of special extras.

G.A Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 They seemed to have changed what was to be replaced. 9764 is staying until the end of the year or early next year. 9767 is retired along with EZ Rider 0761. Bus 9773 was being decommissioned while I was there. It will be listed for sale this week. 2181 entered service today with 2182 entering service next week possibly. Buses 0576, 0862 and 1063 are now retained for the school specials. 0977-0978 are now retained as spares for conventional and school specials when needed. They will be used for lower ridership routes when needed. Two more LFS are set to be ordered for this year. One is to replace 9764 and I can't remember if he said one expansion.

G.A Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 A bit more of an update today. Two LFS are due in February. 0978 is kept as an emergency spare until then. 9764 will remain as a school bus this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the location, I will assume these are Nova LFS buses on delivery from Saint-Eustache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Two hybrid buses are on order for next year. Bus 2283 was used in the Santa Claus Parade this year. This Mark's the first year in 30 years that they have attended the parade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashore_518203 Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 From an official source, 9764 has been retired. The CTHF charter last year was the last time that the bus carried passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 1875 and Mobility Bus 1914 were used in the parade this year. 1571 & 1875 have wraps for the Lights on Stratford. Two Hybrids are due for the summer of 2024 and there is talk of electrification. 0862 & 1063 are due to be replaced and they want to hold on to 0576, but that can change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
