If so, I'll look forward to it. Just glad I made a video before the engine change. London is next but slowly retrofit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lap_screw Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 not sure where to put this but Welland put in a tendor to Orion,New Flyer, NOVA, El Dorado they are not happy with their Blue Bird either to quote the mechanic they are "useless peices of sh*t" 117 (Orion 1) has been awaiting a new engine for a long long time once again to quote the mechanic "they have 1 speed over there and it's slow" haha i'm thinking he should be a comedian.. i'll put the pics on the site today or tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lap_screw Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 i'm going to guess expansion since welland is growing and their service to brock/niagara is terrible! but i guess we will see be interesting to see a nova since there are none in the Niagara region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lap_screw Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 went to Welland's Garage today. they will be getting 2 new El Dorado's as they just got a new FORD "1143" last month as well for their new "Pelham Link" 117 is a write off as well after almost a year of waiting for Orion to respond over a new engine they have just decided to write it off which isn't making my buddy happy he said 117 and 118 (Orion 1's) are the best buses they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lap_screw Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 after sitting in the garage and in and out of maintenance 8849 is the next Classic to be retired 8849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 after sitting in the garage and in and out of maintenance 8849 is the next Classic to be retired8849 Interesting that the fleet number is on the rear bumber, never seen that before. Did anyone have any luck getting a current St.Catharines roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lap_screw Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 i asked for one and they gave me a maintence check list haha which didn't help.. i will ask different people next time i just went there again today for some pictures i have to go back on thursday so i'll ask around as for the numbers on the bumper i believe they did it because since the majority of the fleet is D40LF's they put wraps on the back of the bus which covers up the number on other news.. new D40LF coming in December st.catharines is planning on retiring all remaining 6 Classics and 2 Orion V's at the end of the year also the transit is running low on buses at the moment when i went there not 1 bus was in the garage.. 13 buses were waiting for repairs the mechanics were saying they are pulling 12 hour shifts. possible leased fishbowls coming? i could only wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lap_screw Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 The D40LF's have arrived.. 4 are here 4 more still to arrive.. i went to take pictures.. but was told to come back next week because they are being worked on they will be in service in January so i will still get pictures before they go into service 3 Classics have been retired and a Orion V due to this delevery 8849,8848 and the other Classic and Orion V i didn't get close enough to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them being delivered at the same time I was creating a list of St.Catharines buses and chasing them to get the license plate info.

general682002 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 My guess for the Orion V are the 1990 version, 18 years old and it has reached to it's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too bad. 9054 was one of my favourites. They've all held up pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitisgreener Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hello, I haven't taken transit in a few years, but I went to take it the other day and found out there is no longer a route #13 carelton street? Does anyone know when did this happen? Kind of disappointed as it is just near my house...... Thanks, Melinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
