Root Admin ORION Posted April 17, 2017 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 As previously mentioned, 2003 Orion VII 4108 has been decommissioned. I came in this morning to find out 2008 Blue Bird UltraLF 8108 has also now been decommissioned. There must have been an expensive repair that wasn't worth the expense. This now leaves 8109 as the only Blue Bird left in service. 8 Orion VII left in service as well...for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now after hearing that Oakville may have dropped out of the Metrolinx Consortium that leaves me with what the next year order would be after this final batch of Novas and Vicinities.

Eight (8) Vicinity buses next year. 30ft orders going forward for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmanKh Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Are there more Vicinitys coming this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin ORION Posted April 19, 2017 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Are there more Vicinitys coming this year? Expecting 4 within the next month. Is this a cost saving measure or is this because ridership is suited just finely for a 30ft? Both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAverageJoe Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Is this a cost saving measure or is this because ridership is suited just finely for a 30ft? More of the new service in the north of Oakville can handle 30ft fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 More of the new service in the north of Oakville can handle 30ft fine. Most of the current route dont even need a 40 foot bus anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin ORION Posted May 4, 2017 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 We are expecting the new Vicinity buses this month (within the next 3 weeks or so). I'm told the 7 Nova LFS will be delivered late summer/early fall at this point. A few slight modifications to this batch of Vicinity buses. Nothing really cosmetically noticeable other than white LED luminator signs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if they will be numbered 1701-1704 or 1708-1711. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nova LFS buses will be #1704-1710, and will come with orange LED signage because they're metrolinx order. Everything delivered going forward will have white LED according to maintenance staff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the fact that they're Metrolinx order have anything to do with the colour of the destination sign? Both here in Hamilton and in Burlington there are Metrolinx LFS with white destination signs. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
