Cogeno Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 So, a driver on another board (though, I do have my doubts about how legit he is) has mentioned that 9002, 9017, and 9217 have been retired due to corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

306 Carlton Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I can confirm that 9050 has been retired, saw it out at St. Laurent garage being parted out. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn232/H...%20D40/9050.jpg You can't really see it but the engine is missing out of it. So, a driver on another board (though, I do have my doubts about how legit he is) has mentioned that 9002, 9017, and 9217 have been retired due to corrosion. I have seen 9217 at Swansea missing it's windows infront of the rear doors. I don't have a picture of it quite yet but hopefully will soon.

MCIBUS Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Interesting that they would be there. I'm wondering is Thom Transport is going to rebuild them and use them in Pembrook where they have the contract to run the Transit system in that city?

Waiting for 30 Minutes Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 More like a temporary storage location before the scrapper picks up the retired buses. When I went there last time (April 8, 2010), they (the guy at Thom) said the buses were being sold to some fellow in Montreal, perhaps these buses could be facing the same fate? http://www.majhost.com/gallery/wf30m/OC-Tr...m/retired-1.jpg http://www.majhost.com/gallery/wf30m/OC-Tr...m/retired-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those buses have already ended up here in a scrap yard close to Montreal. They are eventually going to be crushed for their metal content. I know the guy that has the contract to scrap OC Transpo buses after they are retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
