MCW Metrobus Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 8070 is now in Nanaimo joining 8034, 8043, 8077 and 8111. I wondered why there was such a sparsity of ex-small communities D40LFs in Victoria! I had been suspecting that one and possibly a couple of others might have been moved. As far as the '95s go, the only ones I saw in the past couple of days in Vic were the refurbished ones (8072 and 8078) and 8067 in the old colours. No sign of 8082, 8084 or 8086, and another member reported that 8079 is missing plates which means it's definitely going somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SidneyTransitfan Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 With the D40LFs slowly being transferred from Victoria, are the Orions still in active service? I'm headed up to Nanaimo tomorrow to see what I can see. Do 600/601 ever come out on weekends, or are they mere weekend spares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove by the yard a few days back and noticed that they are infact still here, but are sitting at the far end of the yard near the entrance to Calinda St. Oh, BTW... Most, if not all of our buses have the new fareboxes installed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Nanaimo spotters, I have been updating the Nanaimo WIKI page and would like to know if any other changes need to be made. Here is what I have based on some of the spottings in this thread: http://www.cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=N..._Transit_System . So please post what is no longer in Nanaimo and what is now in Nanaimo that may not be listed. And if you know of where certain units have gone to after leaving Nanaimo, please feel free to let us know. Thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
323 Surrey Ctrl Stn Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I know the Orion V's are gone, and I believe the Darts are too. Chris Cassidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV92 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 i heard that 9083, 9286 and 9287 have been moved. 9083 to Comox, and I can confirm 9286, 9287 to Kelowna. Also 9083, 9085 I think should be 2001 models, not 2002...and according to The Next Stop, 8091 should be in the Sunshine Coast right now...

It was last summer, I thought at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV92 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Has 8091 not always been there? It was last summer, I thought at least. Yeah, it was transferred sometime between Jan. 08 and Jun. 09...probably whenever Classic 8904 was moved out. I believe 8093 and 8094 were the only SC originals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidneyTransitfan Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Had a little chance to take a peek at Transit in Nanaimo today - and I managed to spot Ex. Victoria 8034 doing a route 8 "South". Unfortunately, I did not have quick access to the camera and did not get a shot of it until it returned some 45+ minutes later as a route 9 "North" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
