RailBus63 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 As one who questioned this news when it was first reported, I'll admit I was wrong. I'm just surprised still that New Flyer didn't make a big deal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiExpress Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 WMATA has ordered 51 Orion VIIs, 26 of them will be hybrid and the other 25 will be clean diesel. If I recall correctly they are to all be 30 footers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCAreaTransitFan Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Â WMATA has ordered 51 Orion VIIs, 26 of them will be hybrid and the other 25 will be clean diesel. If I recall correctly they are to all be 30 footers. Correct these will replace the 3900s aka orions v 30 ft supposedly wmata was going to order 30ft new flyer buses but fairfax connector ordered more xcelsiors and their are coming out late so then that made cancel their contract and start a new contract with orion. info by wmata general manager and engineer from orion at the wmata bus roadeo!

septa105R5/seClip9 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Here's the link regarding to the new orion bus order. Great for WMATA to return to Orion since it has its great history with the Orion V and VII product in past years. http://www.dcbusna.com/dbusna/0-866-621715...-0-0-0-0-0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE42LFA Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Any word on the retirements of the Vs? The 1997-98 40ft? Yeah the 4200's are being replaced. Some came back in service because of the Orion VI's being retired. The 4300's/44s will probly go next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4300's/44s will probly go next year. cool, I heard about the fire on that VI and they would retire them all. It would have been interesting to see all the 4200's being retire cuz that they would be short of buses even though the new ones are being delivered.

Megabus Rider Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Found some YouTube videos of the Orion 30ft buses and the person who posts them stated that they will be retured this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
