97SCT Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Orion V 9157 was at the downtown terminal around 2:30 pm, arrived and left not in service. Also, DE40LFR 0808 has a new driver's side ad for Two Guys Used Cars, which means 102 is having it's ad removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billster8724 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 It will be interesting to see X40's in the St. Catharines scheme. Although for the Xcelsiors, Id like to see them do away with the black around the windows..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they still still part of the St. Catharines Transit fleet or have they been sold/auctioned off to whoever has them parked there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transit2000 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 9157 was deadheading back to the garage and got stopped at the 1st Street rail crossing for the evening Toronto bound Amtrak at 6:11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 here's 9261..... this unit is currently at Abbott Street and Oakdale Avenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit2000 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Saw 9157 leave the garage at 2:10pm and went to the Downtown Terminal via 4th Ave. It then operated as an unscheduled Brock Bullet extra, and deadheaded back to Brock each time it dropped off students at the Terminal. I saw it appear at the Terminal at 4:45, 5:15 and 5:38pm. It then left the Terminal on it's final appearance in which I assumed it headed back to the garage.

97SCT Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 bad news, starting April 1st. the fare will increase, i would assume to $2.75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit2000 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 bad news, starting April 1st. the fare will increase, i would assume to $2.75 Again? This sucks, I hate inflation. On another note, 9157 made another afternoon trip today. Departing at exactly 2:08pm from the garage like the last time I saw it. It's good to know exactly what time this bus is out usually. Kind of annoying though that it only serves the Brock Bullet and this bus is always crushloaded, it's very difficult to get a good enjoyable ride on it.

902 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 one of the DE40LF's; 0707 has been refurbished. the New Flyer emblems on the driver and door sides are no longer there. Is that the only way you can tell if it was refurbished or not? Anyone could have taken those logos off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Is that the only way you can tell if it was refurbished or not? Anyone could have taken those logos off.... well it also looked more shiny than the others, could have been just repainted. it's what i usually think when there's a shine to it. Most D40LF's have rust under the doors by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest transit_railfan Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 hey guys you wont believe what I saw in the Garage parking lot in the back, 2 retired buses, Orion V and the Orion VI. The Orion VI just got retired this past month, both have no plates on it so its official which is sad however I did get some photos of the Orions and seeing if I can get a plate and also some goodies off of it, I will call up tomorrow after car gets new tires. I will go by tomorrow and get a daylight shot. I wonder if Jared knows whats the fate of these two old girls. Are they gonna be scrapped or sold since the D60LF's from Ottawa OC Transpo's came into view and the Xcelsior XD40 from Niagara Regional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the VI's are retired and won't be for a few years, 9157 however it's days could be numbered as Brock is done for the summer. I should also mention that 9051, 9264 and 65 are still plated but still considered retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
