They purchased a few of these 03s and this one is the only repainted unit so far that I know about, which operated in Stratford for a short while. just got an update that there should be 4 leased buses. Thanks for the confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Oke Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Can Some more buses be transferred from Raleigh or Westney divisions possibly? Because I’ve seen a few Raleigh XD40’s in Whitby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Oke Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 So far I’ve seen one and I know there’s more there are a few Raleigh XD40’s in Whitby for example here’s 8517 on the 303 about a week and a half ago it’s a Raleigh bus on a Whitby route As well a completely valid reason with some 302 trips being canceled is sewer replacement on Brock between Taunton and Rossland which has lead to traffic lanes being shifted to accommodate construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long more until all the buses are fixed and the leases are no longer needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
