Root Admin ORION Posted March 19, 2007 Root Admin Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin ORION Posted March 28, 2007 Author Root Admin Report Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general682002 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2822 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I was in and Around Cobourg last week and I saw all four buses so both elfs are still in Service along with the V and Blue bird. The Blue Bird always seems to be on route 1 I saw it on there three days in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
