St. Laurent's 22-333 on the 161. 22-370 still has the original Novabus emblem on the front. St. Denis' 22-369 was on that run that does the 104, then the 191 and ends up leaving as the 19h00 211 from the Metro on Sundays.

iBus (via Felix's app): St. Laurent's 22-292 on the 31, 22-261 on the 179 then 18, Legendre's 22-268 on the 112, 22-330 on the 201

I wouldn't be surprised if 22-334 is the last 22-XXX to do the 144, since the route is going back to MR on Monday and both runs tomorrow are out past 23:00. I rode it today on its last eastbound trip at 11:10 and photographed it on the return journey. It was an accessibility violation on run 119-01.

Of course, they were never common on the 144 until this year. I enjoyed it while it lasted though.

  • 22-409 doing the 33 SB at Des Grandes Prairies / Du Prado at 13h48
  • 22-418 doing the next 33 after that at the same place at 13h54
  • 22-261 doing the 161 EB at 15h52

22-409 does the same sequence of routes like last night (49 -> 33). Has no rear ad. 22-261 still has the old Frontenac bumper and also no rear ad.

22-210, 22-285 and 22-410 are parked outside Legendre. But 22-210 has moved around since that video was posted a few days back. It's now facing the garage instead of the park but moved further back a few spots. I think this is the first sighting of 22-285 in this thread and 22-410 resurfaced again after I saw it on the 64 a few months back. Hopefully both are not retired.

22-321 was parked outside Frontenac.

And according to this video uploaded recently, it shows a number of retired buses with the most obvious one is 22-251 which has been gutted for mechanical parts.

22-242 was parked En Transit at Gare Dorval at 12:31. It was tracking on the 203 later.

22-386 was on the 55N at St-Laurent / René-Lévesque at 14:07 (LE extra 99-78).

22-288 was on the 171E at Henri-Bourassa / Acadie at 15:45.

22-334 was on the 68 école E at Gare Sunnybrooke at 16:36.

22-331 was on the 68E at Gouin / 2e Rue at 16:39.

I guess we'll need a 23 thread soon, 250 scheduled replacement buses over two years is more than enough to kill all the 22's.

This afternoon lots of 40 ft's were tracking on the 80: 28-116, 31-102, 37-002, 37-016 and 37-041.

We might as well. I think it would be best to combine it with this thread since there are only 39 23-2XX and it would be more convenient to post everything in one place.

I made a spreadsheet for the 23-2XX. I've been updating it pretty infrequently, but I was hoping to get "Last Active" dates for all of them this time (many 22-XXX were gone before we started the thread).

They definitely aren't all retired though. From the video, it looks like 22-329 still has a fare box and 22-286, 22-302 and 22-365 were active today (22-365 had been MIA since November!). I marked 238, 243, 251, 265, 297 and 299 as retired because they are missing parts. 22-243 was definitely missing the fare box.

22-361 also resurfaced today on the 55 after being MIA since October.

22-309 was my 90-E this morning around 7:30. It was on a tripper doing one short turn trip (Gowans/Des Erables to Atwater, run 90-21). 22-363 and 22-372 were tracking on 90-E trippers (90-20 and 90-22).

22-333 was tracking on the 138 all day.

22-292 was on the 90-E at Vendome around 17:30.

@Gerbil it says access denied: I need permission to access your 23-2XX spreadsheet.

23-222 was on the Stinson extra of the 217 (460-29; 8:16 departure from Fairview).

My bad! I just copied the link I was using rather than sharing it. I fixed it in the first post and my post from yesterday.

I took 23-238 on the 105-W at 17:37. I love how there's variety again on the 105! I might start taking it more as an alternative to the 90.
