Billster8724 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hello all, New here, anyways about visiting the transit garage, is an appointment necessary? Or can I basically show up and look around. I've never been there before, but I want to get there soon before the Classics are all gone. Any info is greatly appreciated cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I just showed up and asked. However there is one requirement, they wouldn't let me in unless I had steel tipped boots. Fortunately at the time I had a pair in the car! Hello all,New here, anyways about visiting the transit garage, is an appointment necessary? Or can I basically show up and look around.

Billster8724 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Was at work today when I noticed that 2 of the New Flyer D40's had a white back end to them above the tail-end ad. It looked to be poorly spraypainted as I could still see some black behind it and the criss-crossing lines of paint were clearly visable. Has anyone else seen this? This is the first time I noticed it. Thinking it might be vandalism? I also managed to see all 08's in the terminal within 5 mins, which is pretty rare. Just a side note cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billster8724 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Did you get the bus numbers by any chance? The first one I saw might have been one of the 100's. It looked like it but I'm not sure on that one. The other one I saw from a distance. Both were on the 115 Pen Centre/Downtown in the morning time if you know which numbers were on that route at the time. Other than that I'm unsure of the numbers. I'll look out for them today while at work and report back lol about the all the 08's at once being rare, i meant its rare for me because I always see a huge mix of different types. I've never managed to see all of one type at one time, but maybe thats just because I'm not there at the right time lol. I'll have to keep a look out. cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
