G.A Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Milton has taken delivery of two LFS in November. They are numbered 1701 and 1702. Someone mentioned that they were acquired for a new route 9 in April of 2017, so a shout out to you. So far they are just expansion only so no retirements unless more have been ordered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea when the listing was made, but it can be yours for what you'd normally pay to get a new car these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbellville is a very small area so a cutaway of some kind would be perfect there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that they need two Arbocs for the Access+ and two for the 1A/1B and one for the 1C. So maybe this order of three are Arbocs or Nova's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be the other alternative Milton route to connect with GO 25 and 29 at that Carpool Lot at Regional Road 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know when the rebranding is set to begin on the fleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a town wide rebrand. Visit their website for more information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit their website for more information. Yes I had no clue that their old branding was 27 years old. It looked very modern. I wonder if the three LFS that are due this year will be in the new livery. Also will these three replace two active 1995s and the fire victim 9704 or just three active ones. I didnt see anything about new routes lately for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as you mentioned, 1801 also came out doing a driver changeoff, then did the 5/8 for the PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
