It seems #8525 has been saved from the scrappers torch a decade ago by a private owner but given a new plate as 160 3BH and has been used for the truck and driver training located outside of Kitchener (not my photo). It’s unclear if the owner scrapped the bus or hid it somewhere.

William Mazmanian passed away in August 2021.    He had planned to convert 525 to an RV and bring it to his Florida residence but I didn't hear back from him after his winter 2020 vacation and unsure if 525 made it to Florida.   Driver Training was conducted on ex GRT 2306 when it retired from the region.
