ORION Report post Posted March 19, 2007 I was told Cobourg Transit recently aquired a used 30ft. Orion V from Capital Autobus. Its the same one that was displayed at CUTA 2006 in Toronto. Its running in service with the Durham Region Transit type scheme aparently. I'm quite eager to go check it out one day...hopefully when it warms up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ORION Report post Posted March 28, 2007 what is it replacing or for expansion? I think it is replacing the ELF buses. From what I was told, its the number one bus they have now, since there is constant trouble with their Blue Bird... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Felix Report post Posted March 28, 2007 Ex-Lynx from Orlando...same place where YRT #9401 came, including the Sarnia and Welland units... If the Welland ones are any indication, they are all ex-CNG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
general682002 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 i don't think 9401 was ever CNG? YRT 9401 was straight from diesel. The one in Welland got the ex-CNG and they were not impressed with the bus. Due to conversion to diesel from CNG, the engine was having some oil burning problem and it was send back and forth a couple of times. After that they said forget it as they are keeping the only diesel version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
