OC Transpo 8238 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Paint is paint, any bus can get painted in any paint scheme. The bus would've been crushed if it wasn't put to a good use. Fire training is more important than a Classic, hate to break it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niatrans10 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I don't know if this will have any impact on the proposed facility, but the Heartland Forest Nature Centre is directly across the street on Brown Road, and I know the head of that place got a standing ovation at council last week for his expansion plans....who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niatrans10 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm starting to think it won't be running this year at all, and on a second note the NF capital budget should be approved in several weeks so I'll know then what NFT is getting in terms of buses( Nova and New Flyer are the only companies likely to be a factor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
