G.A Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Does anyone what year the Orion 2 is? Will Elliott lake Transit by any new buses for 2008? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT_BMT_IND Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I don't think Elliott lake has any IIs. They have a I, but it's only used as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilgopher Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 When I was up in Elliot Lake (ironically the weekend before Paul Bateson) I noted the Orion II in an Auto Storage/Scrap yard a couple of doors down from the bus yard. It looked to me as if it hadn't moved in some time, however looking at Paul's photos suggests that it had moved since. The bus I had spotted several times during my stay was an ELF (see photo below) and from my understanding, this is the primary vehicle for the Handi-Lift.

G.A Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Great so anyone know the year of the ELF and the Orion ll? If you do then you will know the unit number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilgopher Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 After seeing 3/4 views of both sides of the two buses, it does not appear that they are numbered. Unless, perhaps they are numbered on the rear, but I don't recall seeing numbers on the rear of the ELF. I can't speak for the Orion II, however, as I didn't get a look at the rear of it.

Whats the point of numbering it if it's the only bus of it's kind in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC60102N Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Is there any new buses for Elliott Lake this year? if so, it will replace the Orion 1 (86-1). Why would they need a new bus ? The Orion I is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaT Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Why would they need a new bus ? The Orion I is fine. Believe it or not, they have a new bus ordered in the consortium order since they're on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiExpress Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Believe it or not, they have a new bus ordered in the consortium order since they're on the list. Just because they are on the list does not mean they ordered a bus. That Orion I, I'd assume is in pretty good shape since they have 2 Novas that provide the service.

lilgopher Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Sometime late last year/earlier this year, Elliot Lake received it's NFI D40LF, numbered 0901. Apologies for the crappy pics... it was a drive-by. This may have very well spelled the end for the ex-Sudbury Orion... I didn't see it at all when I was up there.

D40LF Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Am planning on going to Elliott Lake next month, hoping to see the Nova's but I had heard of the D40LF. Do the Nova's still have rollsigns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I knew they were getting one and it`s a 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't recall seeing otherwise when I was up there last... With only four routes, I doubt very much there is a real need to retrofit the Novas anytime soon.

I have been studying a map of the area but somethings don'e seem to add up to the transit maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been studying a map of the area but somethings don'e seem to add up to the transit maps. The main transfer point is the Algo Centre, hard to miss... it's one of the larger structures in the 'downtown' area. But, just in case, the nearest main intersection is Hillside Drive North & Ontario Avenue. The buses park in designated spots near the north-east corner of the building. The garage/yard is located a little further north, off of Highway 108, on Timber Road. If you use Google Earth... look for all the schoolies. There really isn't much to see at the yard, unless you are a fan of schoolies. With a three bus transit fleet, two are usually out doing the runs during the day. I have no experience with the hospitality of AJ Bus Lines, so I would strongly suggest calling ahead if you plan on entering the property for any reason.
