I still recall those Tri Town Transit International school bus equipment with front destination sign and rear door in full Tri-Town Transit scheme!

general682002 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Okay, who's the latest contractor running it? The modified school bus to transit which was over 20 years old was Stock Transportation! Mr. Cimon will do anything for his bus collection!

Cimon8000 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Finally have a chance to visit Temiskaming Shore after 7 years since my last visit, which was still the "Tri Town Transit" serving Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard at that time with 3 school buses equipment with back door.  All those 3 school buses(#252, 294, 342) have since been retired and scrapped for sure, and being replaced by 4 cutaways since early 2013, which are #50069-72, and very soon to be found too small for the system, together with too many mechanical issues as well.  Of course, of top of my list are looking for the two New Flyer MD35 Midi.  One was seen in service today while the other one was in the shop waiting for parts to be fixed.  Unfortunately they don't have any fleet number to be identified, as "not necessary" according to the staff at the garage.  For those who would like to keep a record of the VIN #, they are as follow: Plate 5307BJ--2FYD9KR07EB047514 Plate 5306BJ--2FYD9KR09EB047515 BOTH were built October 2014, which i am really wondering if both are ex-demos or not, as they didn't order them until early 2015 according to the news on NFI website before.  All four cutaways are still on property and #50072 was even in service, replacing one of the Midi which is in the shop.  They four cutaway vans are currently used for the weekend(since they are running 7 days a week now), or backup when the Midi are not available.  On 6/20/2015 at 8:05 AM, general682002 said: Okay, who's the latest contractor running it?

MiExpress Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Temiskaming will be getting 2 30' (not 35' as initially listed in the tender) New Flyer Midi through Girardin. The report lists the buses as stock buses with a quick 8-12 week delivery timeframe so they could be ex demonstrator buses or inventory Girardin already has. Bid prices: Grande West 35' - $395,000 ($446,350 HST) Girardin 30' stock buses - $415,587 ($469,613 HST) Girardin 35' - $463,869 ($524,171 HST) City View 35' - 464,225 ($524,474 HST) https://icreate5.esolutionsgroup.ca/231101_TemiskamingShores/en/city-hall/resources/Council/Council_Package/00-16-12-20-Package.pdf  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris W Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Apparently as of, at least January, the 30' Midis have been numbered 72430 and 72431. As for the two 35' Midis, I have no idea as yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 35' Midis are numbered 51017 and 50682. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
