niatrans10 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 speaking of Eldorados, 2985 is at MTB having its skirts repainted due to flaking paint, all four will be going eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97SCT Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 After returning from Toronto today, I come to find 2577 at the St. Catharines terminal and assigned to the 55. Usually they would use one of the newer Orions (2193-95) as backups for the Regional service, but an older model? I could not get a pic as it took off after I arrived.

J. Bullock Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 43.066304, -79.066586 I'm guessing this is where they stored the WEGO Buses before service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 My trip to the Falls. I was there from Friday to Monday morning. The WEGO is pretty easy to understand especially the Red Line. None of the 40 foot LFX's were out the whole time I was there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashore_518203 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 It is good to see that they finally put the direction of travel on the Green Line destination signs. That was very confusing last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 In the photo of 5204, did they put a red background on the sign? The signs on the NFT WEGO buses were very hard to read, especially the Red Line and Purple Line signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The signs on the NFT WEGO buses were very hard to read, especially the Red Line and Purple Line signs. Sign was malfunctioning that day. I am not sure if its fixed now. I also did notice that some drivers do not put the AA on and the rear lights past the artic joint were malfunctioning and what not. They were a good ride. the NFT units had tables at the rear like the Viva buses and the NPC units had different seating. None of the Vs were out only low floors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general682002 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 2 LFS are coming soon to your near hometown, it will have a new rear end and no rear window. Forgot what's the fleet number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The fleet numbers are 2396 and 2397. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general682002 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The fleet numbers are 2396 and 2397. Thank you sir! So unusual to see them reusing the first 2 digit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thank you sir! So unusual to see them reusing the first 2 digit! My guess to the way they are numbering them is the "23" would be 2013 and "97" would just be the fleet number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
