Bernie Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I noticed this morning that there's another yellow classic with the other 2 but this one's on the deadline..Any word if it's gonna be retired or if it's waiting for parts? Also which bus is it if it's possible? The classic at the side is #520 as it is waiting to be rebuilt as it has an bad engine fame. The other two classic's are #502 and 511 that are being used for parts. There will be no buses retired this year unless there is major problems with them.

newflyerinvero Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 There's a new white Classic. I say "new" as I do think it was recently refurbed...once was a yellow Classic. This Classic was on a Red Wings special last night. The decal used for the White Classics was actually lower compared to the others...the ad racks are seen above the decal. Has anyone noticed this but me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaT Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 It might be possible, I'll keep my eye out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girardin71 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 i saw 499 today without the wrap at College Ave Bus Terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaT Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 499 and 411 don't have any wraps at all anymore. Just 412 has the TW wrap. Also the new route map is on TWs website now with the routing for downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaT Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Also forgot to mention that one of the classics may be written off from a collision at Lauzon Pkwy and Forest Glade Drive. Also I found some of the older 70s new looks and an SW&A bus(Old look) at that junk dealer near Manning... I'd love to go buy some of those, restore them and move the transit museum to downtown with those in it lol. I can go get pics of them later if the guy isntaround and the guard dogs are still indoors lol. I don't know the number on the Old Look and one of the buses I saw there was 802. The place also has an ex-OC Transpo new look. EDIT: Also I found out that the new D40LFs were actually going to be D40LFRs. According to the TW Planning Manager that I spoke with.

newflyerinvero Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 EDIT: Also I found out that the new D40LFs were actually going to be D40LFRs. According to the TW Planning Manager that I spoke with. D40LFR's? In that case, perhaps those buses are going to be delievered late to Windsor maybe. If I'm guessing right, then perhaps the new buses for Burlington would also be D40LFR's. But back to TW...so they will be getting D40LF's then? I'm also intrigued noticing about the cancellations of the 2X and the 1CX to a PM service. This at least frees up about 3 to 4 buses overall. Would these express routes return in September or are they down for good? I'm guessing that if they are, then a couple extra buses and schedule improvements which would include an extra bus or two would make sense.

MaT Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 No they are not getting any buses. The buses WERE supposed to be LFRs. He said that he's hoping they can get a couple extra buses next year since they couldn't get any this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmoon Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 If you are talking about the purchase consortium TW was supposed to get 6 but as far I know they were all to be D40LFs. TW pulled out of it. Maybe one of the other agencies like DRT or YRT may purchase the 6 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaT Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I saw that classic that got wrecked today in the north-east corner of the TW lot by the fence. It's a yellow classic and it has a large sheet covering the front of the bus where the damage was done. I think it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaT Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 This is on Am800. NEW BUSES 2007-05-10 07:19:40 Transit Windsor is hoping to get a new fleet of buses. It will submit a five-year plan to the province in hopes of getting nine buses in 2008 and six buses in each of the next four years. The province subsidizes 24 per cent of the $450,000 cost of each bus. Also Denny Timm is on the transit board now, he also invited me to work with him on transit windsor related issues on the Mayor's Youth advisory Committee which I of course took advantage of. YOUNG NEW BOARD MEMBER 2007-05-10 22:07:32 The Transit Windsor Board of Directors is getting younger. Denny Timm, a member of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee, has been approved to sit on the board as a non-voting member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Whatever happened to 406? I ask as this was the only Transit Windsor bus I ever rode, back in the late 1980's, at the time it was on the tunnel route. Even better does anyone have a photo of this bus that they would care to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All remaining Orion 1s (I think 406 was the only one alive when I was in Windsor for my first time) have retired from service... this is the only one that made it into the new livery...

Number 406 was the first Transit Windsor bus the be painted in the white paint scheme, after the Transit Board saw it they approved the white paint scheme for all Transit Windsor buses from that time on.
