97SCT Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 So some fleet updates, but all are mostly based on sightings; For St. Catharines, 0708 has been the only 2007 DE40LF seen. Not sure on the status of 0707, 11, 12 and 14. DE40LFR units 0801, 0803-05, 0807-08 are still active. For Welland, no word on units 1146, 49, 52 or 59 as they haven't been seen for a while. 1149 is allegedly at MTB, so I am wondering if anyone can confirm on that. For Niagara Falls, 2368 is still kicking. According to a post on the NF discussion, the other remaining old VII's are apparently waiting on repairs.

Very curious on what is going on with the Welland fleet. I've noticed they haven't been using a lot of their older equipment lately and the Vicinity buses except for 1154 and 1162.

I've noticed they haven't been using a lot of their older equipment lately and the Vicinity buses except for 1154 and 1162. From what I've heard from drivers, a lot of Welland units only passed conditional safety inspections for the first year (1152, 1155, 1159, etc.) Other units have been sent to St Catharines for service or are sitting at Welland yard because they can't get parts. I know 1170 was written off following a collision on 506 over the summer so it was, at one point, being used to keep 1171 alive. That one is mostly a backup now.
