Sure, if you come up with the $$$$ for a new engine and transmission!!! How many of the 10's are in now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billster8724 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Sure, if you come up with the $$$$ for a new engine and transmission!!! Haha well its either that or 8847(St. Catharines Transit 1988 MCI Classic) which has been sitting out in Welland for 7 years. There is a guy who could make them both like new....just a matter of getting ahold of him. How many of the 10's are in now? I think just 1001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is it was at the garage in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is it was at the garage in 2005. Yes it was damaged. It was in the accident in December 2003 around this time of month. I believe it was early 2004 that it was actually sent out there. Wouldn't have been at the garage for 2 years I wouldn't think. Could be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billster8724 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 9262 was on either the extra 10 or extra 16 around 3:30 this afternoon (December 17th). Displayed "Not in Service" on the destination sign, but it looked as if there were people on board. Was it confirmed that 62 was infact retired? Note: 1001 was on the inbound 115 December 18th. Saw it at the Walmart Plaza at 10 mins past 6pm. Few mins late, as its supposed to be there at :03 after each hour on weekend evenings (how it is on weekday nights, although it could be different) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lap_screw Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 correction: 9159 is retired.. turned out it needed more work than 9262 so 9159 is indeed done seat farebox and donuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97SCT Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 last time i was on 9159, was back in March 2008 during a huge snowstorm that was going on, i also remember a woman slipping and almost getting crushed by the bus as she was trying to stop it that day. i guess the farebox and the AA system will go into a 2010 DE40LF. and the rest of it (seats, engine/transmission) will be used as spare parts RIP 9159 1991-2010 note; 1001 was spotted on 7 Niagara Street and later on the 11 Hartzel-Thorold. no bike rack was installed yet anyways.

Billster8724 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 1001 is now in service and thay look just like the 09's Yes saw it on Saturday on the 115, and it was spotted on the 11 Hartzel today. They are mostly identical to the 2009's, except they have the same seating as the 2003-2007 D40LF's according to 97SCT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billster8724 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 So 9261 is not retired....yet. Was on the 3:15pm Pelham Rd today inbound to the terminal around 3:30. So as far as it goes, seems 9159 is the only retired V as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
