GMC T6H-5307N Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Got the Regina wiki done! All highfloors have been moved to retired section, and I updated each page with status of the vehicles. That took a while to do!

GMC T6H-5307N Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 No problem there mike! Glad to fix that wiki! It went on a little too long without any updates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMC T6H-5307N Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Sooo, I was going through my stuff, and I found a 4 page section from the Leader Post, back from September of 2011 talking about 100 years of Regina transit, and I found this picture... Anyone know about this bus? It isn't on the wiki, obviously (since I just went through a major chunk of it )... Also, like the little bit of 252 (R/N 452 in 1965) in the background?

GMC T6H-5307N Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) So, I found today that 561 was destroyed by an engine fire on February 19, 2014 (right on my birthday!) http://www.montrealgazette.com/Firefighters+scene+city+transit+fire+transit+barns+Winnipeg+Street+Regina+February+2014/9535656/story.html?__federated=1 Nobody knew about this?

MAX BRT Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 A Regina city councillor is encouraging motorists to give up their cars for a week and take transit. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/regina-drivers-encouraged-to-park-cars-for-week-use-buses-1.2759202 The challenge is taking place with councillors about to consider some major bus fare increases. If council approves, the price of a monthly bus pass will increase 21 per cent (from $62 to $75) on Jan. 1, 2015, followed by further increases in 2016 and 2017.

GMC T6H-5307N Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Those little buses are 2013 or 2014 Arbocs, possibly Spirit of Freedom models. They have white digital too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShermanOaks Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Nice picture!! Thanks! If in Regina, you better grab some pictures of the remaining New Flyer's because they scheduled to disappear early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMC T6H-5307N Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 If they are retiring the D40LF's, then that must mean the 800 series LFS's are on their way out, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are retiring the D40LF's, then that must mean the 800 series LFS's are on their way out, correct? The only thing I heard while at RTS was the 12 NFI D40 LFR's from the late 1990s and early 2000s are going. No mention of the 800 series LFS's? I did find it interesting that their fleet is now 115 busses. The only thing I heard while at RTS was the 12 NFI D40 LFRs from the late 1990s and eaerly 2000s are going.

AMG Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 The only thing I heard while at RTS was the 12 NFI D40 LFR's from the late 1990s and early 2000s are going. No mention of the 800 series LFS's? I did find it interesting that their fleet is now 115 busses. Since those LFSes are from Charlotte and probably not heavily used, they probably don't have too much rust. I'm guessing the D40LFs saw a lot of use and probably need some structural work. Otherwise it's hard to imagine that 1st gen LFSes with a Series 40 engine would be cheaper to maintain than a D04LF. If these LFSes are kept, they will probably be some of the last transits in the U.S. or Canada with the Series 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Some of you have probably seen this on Facebook already, but here it is anyways...Regina Transit (Saskatchewan) #206 is a 1988 New Flyer Industries D40 that was originally delivered to Moose Jaw Transit (Saskatchewan) when new. #22 was sold in 2008 to Regina Transit where it ran until sometime in either late 2011 or early 2012. Kevin Lo, and myself found it parked in a storage yard de-plated in April of 2012 after it had been retired.

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Have spotted the following Nova's in Regina that are not listed on the Wiki: 686, 687, 688, & 689. At this point I am not sure if there are more or not. I will post more later today if I see anymore today before I head for Saskatoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Saw one D40LF on my way out of town and that was #590. Also spotted and photographed ex-Charlotte Nova #'s 802 & 804. No worries, I thought you would like to know before you left Regina. Yes thanks. Didn't end up photographing any of the 686-691 batch but did see 686 in service today on a route 50.

GMC T6H-5307N Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Was in Regina this afternoon. Spotted only one D40LF, that was 591. I also spotted one of the LFS's in the demo paint scheme, and a Nova ex-demo LFS. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here is my shot of #687 that I got while I was in Regina back on May 27, 2015: I have noticed that the past two orders have arrived with Thermo King Air Conditioning units instead of Carrier.

BusRider Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've only seen a few of the D40LF's, but I've managed to get a few of the Calgary rejects. I've become a fan of the ZF sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMC T6H-5307N Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I only saw 591 and 596(?) when I was there a few weeks ago. Keep your eyes peeled for the 800 series Novas (ex-Charlotte) and the demo Novas. They are pretty hard to find, at least to me it seems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
