sdgta2008 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 It appears that someone is making use of one of the retired 2003 Orion V. I saw it inside a maintenance bay at the Cornwall Truck Centre on McConnell Avenue. I also one of the Orion II's parking at Herbs towing on McConnell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgta2008 Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 I suppose whatever Eldorado that was on the Riverdale route early this morning broke down. A 2011 Arboc was on that run for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Why would they not come back into service? No transit system is in the habit of retiring brand new buses because of a scrape up. Relax buddy! Your tax dollars are working hard for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage to 1792 wasn't all that extensive, I'm sure it will be back soon, if it has returned already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I believe they're one bus short from the 3 ex-Kingston Orion VI retirements and the 2 Orion V retirements... I recall seeing a tender that was granted to Nova Bus for an LFS to be delivered in November 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bus becoming 1895 came into property last week sometime. It has yet to be decaled or have accessories like farebox, 2 way radio or camera installed. One small difference with this bus it will have a door switch on the outside similar to the Eldorado’s. When I was at the garage today I was told that 1792 is expected back soon after repairing damage sustained in a collision, and 9881 is almost about to be put back into service (was also damaged in a collision close to a year ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operator13382 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 FYI Routing Changes in Cornwall effective December 10, 2018 (coinciding with the drivers bid). These changes are intended to help drivers keep on schedule during the peak hours. Further changes can also be expected in March 2019. 1 Pitt - No Changes 1 McConnell - Busses will now turn left at Eleventh and McConnell instead of going up to Twelfth. Eliminating stops at Twelfth East and Miron, Twelfth East and Guy, Eleventh East and Grand. 2 Sunrise - Busses will continue straight on Holy Cross to Leitch. Eliminating stops mid block on Hamilton, Lynn and Glen Oaks, Lynn and Fraser, Mid block on Jase. Stops at Hamilton and Holy Cross, and McMartin and Jase most likely to be moved to new route. Not sure if any other new stops to be added. 2 Cumberland - Busses will continue straight on Cumberland at Thirteenth West. Eliminating stops at Henry and Thirteenth, Henry and Alfred, Fourteenth and Mary. Most likely stops at Thirteenth and Notre Dame and Fifteenth and Cumberland will be moved onto the new routing. 3 Brookdale - No Changes 3 Montreal - No Changes 4 Riverdale - Busses will now service the Wal-Mart/Smart Centre. From Brookdale east on Seventh Street Extension, to east on Seventh Street Court continue to the Wal-Mart Driveway, service Wal-Mart at the current 2 Cumberland stop, right turn onto Ninth West. Stop on Seventh Street Extension moves to Wal-Mart and Ninth west and Brookdale will only be served by the 2 Sunrise headed towards downtown. 61 - Community Service will no longer service the Benson Centre or Cornwall Transit. From Brookdale traffic circle buses will head south on Brookdale to Second West. This is a summary (and some of my assumptions) of the memo that was provided to the drivers (I am one of them in case anybody is wondering why I know so much about what is happening with CT). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be many who will cry fowl over these changes. Many of these eliminated stops currently serve low-income housing areas (especially Royal Oak which will be completely cut off).

SMS Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Any ideas when the new network will be going live, please? We would love to do a Cornwall Transit fan trip with the old routes and the old system before they vanish. Here is hoping you can also be our operator.
