Novabus photographer Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 7962, 7964, 7967, 7968, 7969, 7971, 7972, 7978, and 7979 are at North Queen rn, and I’ve heard from someone they are retired.

Look at the interior picture I posted. It should be fairly self evident what what those buses will be used for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will most likely never see service again. 8026 has been retired and is now decommissioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulated Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 1 minute ago, Shemar said: It was one of the VISION test units and was operating out of Wilson for a short time Other than its initial operating days when the series was based out of there, it was never at Wilson for use in revenue service, so please do not use the term "operating out of". That is false, and claims like that only serve to muddy the history when people come to look back. Like all of the Vision test buses, they were nominally stored at Wilson while upgrades and testing of the equipment were underway. But that is very different from being intended for revenue service.

No. If you did your research as to what the responsibilities of the facilities at Hillcrest were capable of, you would get your answer. Not build your post count with meaningless posts with no valuable merit 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
