tim gueguen Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Has anyone seen 0830 on the road lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMC T6H-5307N Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 A few updates as of late: 9502 originally was reactivated after its accident in January, but it later suffered a mechanical failure deemed too costly to repair was finally retired by March 28th. 9503 has also been retired. Arbocs 1008 thru 1011, 1201 and 1202 were officially decommissioned and sent off to auction around April 8th. They are currently up for auction online at www.mcdougallbay.com (just search “bus” and they should pop up). So if you guys want an old tired rusty bus, I guess you’re in luck with these buses! And finally 830 is currently off the road waiting on parts, her usual pastime unfortunately. No word on when it could return to the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim gueguen Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Too bad about 830. I'd been thinking about taking a couple of photos of it. I'm guessing its problems are why the current Traxx Shoes wrap has lasted as long as it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim gueguen Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I saw a ghost on 8th Street today. 107 came driving along. The sign said not in service. I saw it about 15 minutes later parked in the bus stop on Moss Avenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO_1601 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 @GMC T6H-5307N I have a few questions: Do the 2019 Novas have the new driver's window? Can we confirm that there are 10 units? How many 97 D40LFs are left now? Is it safe to say that 9502 is officially retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spotted it in a compound beside the garage along with Classic 111. Is this where they park the retired buses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will go to scrap. Saskatoon wont have any use for older Nova's as they only run 3rd and 4th generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim gueguen Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 So I actually did see 830 the other day. I only saw the front, with the Novabus logo and gold paint visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMC T6H-5307N Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Ex-Saskatoon Transit 601, more recently Saskatoon Fire Department 9, has been sent up for auction. It’s a 1982 Orion 1 model 01.504. This bus was recently being stored for the past year and a half, but was sent up for auction this month. https://mcdougallbay.com/bid.php?arg=9D260280-FADE-4C48-93E4-9AD1C2716BF3 Lots of pictures of the bus can be viewed in the link. She runs and drives quite well so I imagine it’ll go for a decent amount! Auction ends September 24th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO_1601 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 @GMC T6H-5307N It's been a long time. I saw your photos on Instagram and you stated that only two 97s are left. 9703 and which other one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 9706 remains in service now, likely will be on the road for another few months. 9703 was retired back in January. 12 minutes ago, Busfanner 19 said: Are any 2020 LFS delivered I believe there are no orders this year as the contract with Nova ended in 2019. This year city council will open up a new tender with either Nova or Flyer. However with the whole situation going on currently in the world it’s unknown if the tender will go out this year.
