G.A Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just arrived from Peterborough today, all 6 new LFS units 55-60 were out in service. Rode unit 57 on the 2 Chemong. They seat 35 passengers and have the American Seating Insight seats. No rear window, plus a side and rear sign display if that hasn't already been mentioned. The Classics have pretty much been restricted to school specials, saw 30 and 35 out. An Orion VI (06) was also out on a school special as well. So it is safe to say that the leased buses are gone for sure. Were there any other Orion's out?? The only ones I saw was 06 out all day then switched off to Fleming Express and 69840 on a TASS those were the only Onions out that day. 4 UTA classics were on the peak runs. I am guessing that the classics are next to go. Link to post Share on other sites
97SCT Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 None of the other VI's were out, or not that I know of, I left around 3:30 pm Link to post Share on other sites

Cimon8000 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 saw that on WIKI that #14 and #29 was in storage status, i am wondering if they are being stored off the garage or not, thank you Link to post Share on other sites
MrBusDriver Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 saw that on WIKI that #14 and #29 was in storage status, i am wondering if they are being stored off the garage or not, thank you They are not stored in the barns on Townsend street, there is no room.

DRT Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Should be at the public works water yard off of the highway. They are doing construction in that lot now and all the buses that sat there for years are gone. 04 was sold off so I presume the others were too. 14 and 29 may be in another city yard, I'm not sure.

DRT Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 04 was purchased by a private company to use as a road side advertising board. I can PM you the location if you want.I drove by it actually; that's what gave me the idea to see if the rest were gone or not. Link to post Share on other sites
MrBusDriver Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I drove by it actually; that's what gave me the idea to see if the rest were gone or not. Not all gone yet. 06,07,08 are still in the barn. I'll try to grab some pics tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
MrBusDriver Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Took a wander through the barns this morning. 05,06,07,08 are still there. But I noticed that the fare box in 08 was bagged, usually a sign of impending retirement. A few of the Classics had bagged fare boxes too, like 34. Also there has been some talk about the new Novas (55-60), but no pics. So I grabbed a few pictures inside and out, of 60. Link to post Share on other sites

Well 14 was Build in 1984 Brought in 2000 from the RTC so it maybe in Storage then it would be Cornwall 1985 8558 as the Oldest bus in Ontario Link to post Share on other sites

G.A Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Does anyone know the full roster for the Handi-Bus service? I haven't seen any ELF buses in service and the what is the older 158 is listed for sale. It is a 1999 Girardin. Link to post Share on other sites
MrBusDriver Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 All the ELF busses are gone, or at least not in the yard. 158 is similar to the newer handi-vans in that it isn't a low floor. It is a high floor with a hydraulic lift at the right side, but at the rear behind the rear tires. It is a diesel. It has been around for awhile, but only used as a back up when one of the ELFs was broke down. All the newer hands-vans (159 and up) are gas powered V10 motors, apparently the diesels have been problematic. If you want pictures of 158, let me know I'll grab some if it is still there. Btw, where did you see it for sale? Link to post Share on other sites
G.A Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I did get a photo of it when I was in Peterborough back in 2013. it was on GovDeals but I see it's no longer listed. Link to post Share on other sites
