D40LF Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Does anyone have any uptodate info on the fleet in St.John's? The only information I have is from here. Are the 2001 Nova's still the most recent buses or have other buses arrived since then? EDIT: I did some Googling and found this. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/newfoundland-labr...robus-adds.html, So can anyone say what the new buses were. and will be later this year?

hfx_chris Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 When I was there last summer, the 2001 LFS' were still the newest ones in the fleet. They also still at that time had a couple of their 1980 fishbowls still in service, as I remember riding on 286 and I think 287... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soo8513 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Was in St. John's a week ago and saw Fishbowls 8201 (in special scheme) and 8207, 8208. A number of MCI's in the 87xx range, a couple of RTS (2001) and at least one numbered 860 (I presume to be a 2008). Didn't ride but was impressed at condition and those that were working the steep hills of downtown sounded in excellent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfx_chris Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm glad to hear those fishbowls are still alive and well! Their fleet impressed me. There were no RTS' there when I visited 2 years ago, just fishbowls, Classics, LFS' and a few Orion Vs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soo8513 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Pardon my report - I get confused over the new bus types. The new St. John's buses I saw 759 (I think) and 860 appear to be similiar to those operating in Montreal and unlike buses operating in Toronto and Mississauga. I also forgot to mention St. John's has an Orion V (93xx I believe). And yes, somewhere in the 3,200 photos my wife and I took I believe we have photos from St. John's, St. John, Fortress Louisbourg, and Halifax. Just will take a few days to get them uploaded here.

hfx_chris Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Those would be the LFS'. Those fleet numbers however should start with a zero, and be four digits long - like 0860, for instance. Can't wait to see your pictures! (Especially the Halifax ones ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Especially the Halifax ones ) If anyone wants to see those St. John's LFS, it's on Youtube.com where a bus enthusiast does video already of it.

soo8513 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Is it possible that LFS (or similiar) were produced in 1998? I was looking for whales last night in the photos and believe I took a shot of St. John's 9845 and it appears to be an LFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfx_chris Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have to admit, I've always liked the simple liveries, a couple of stripes down the side and that's it. Very clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
