Is it possible to create a list of rebuilt Inveros to keep track of them? Because I'm sure the 82 unrebuilt ones won't be in numerical order.

Yeup, I will post a list in a few minutes as I have been keeping track

4333, 4335, 4370, 4403, 4480, 4487, 4495 have all returned to service. 

 

The following units are still undergoing refurbishment: 4342, 4442, 4460

You can update the list now just by removing the asterisks from those units you mentioned returning to service.

4226 has a different chime than other buses. It sounds like the regular one (not the obnoxious buzzer that some others have) but with two tones instead of just one.

It sounds almost like the tone that plays when the doors open.

I think the two tones are actually what the chime is supposed to play (maybe there are more after the second?), and a short or an error makes it start playing the second tone before it cuts off. York Region Transit's EZ Riders uses the two tones you hear as their accessible stop request.

I thought the 2 tones was for the wheelchair chime.

It’s likely one that’s just mis wired. Has two input wires and one ground in the plug. The input wires may have been pinned in the opposite positions.

Comme ça.

I've noticed that on 4397 (rebuilt), there is now a glossy yellow stanchion next to the driver instead of the regular matte black one. I also saw this on another 45xx Invero.

4526, which I rode today and has not been refurbed, just has the older black stanchion instead.

Has OC Transpo been replacing the black stanchions with the yellow ones on the refurbed units?

No, they are just painting all stanchions yellow, rather than painting one black.

Is there any quick ways to tell if an Invero is a refurb from the outside? I know usually the paint looks fresher but does anything else give them away without getting in?

If the bus is very shiny (most noticeable on the front and rear), it's rebuilt.

Rebuilt Inveros also still have their leaf window decals intact. There are some rebuilt Inveroes (particularly the ones done earlier) that have lost the decal but it's still a good way to identify (for now, they may wear out later on).

That's pretty much it as far as I know.

If you're inside the bus, the glossy yellow driver's area stanchions will certainly give it away. Unrebuilt units still have black stanchions that are matte.

The seat inserts will also be dark blue if the bus is rebuilt but the seats will fade over time so not really a good way.
