Bus_Medic Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I was hoping one or two still existed. I am on the WEGO bus stalking site and right now 5302 is on the Blue, 5305 is on the Red, and 9010 & 9011 are on the Green. Are the 40 footers used strictly for the winter season?? who in their right mind would buy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAverageJoe Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I was hoping one or two still existed. Who would want a 24-28 year old LPG shuttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97SCT Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 2678 has been refurbished and repainted. saw it parked outside the garage today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 2781 is the next one to get the refurb/repaint and is currently at the body shop (MTB) I always thought Niagara had a surplus. It was due to the frigid conditions when the buses when out Tuesday morning, several of the newer Orions wouldn't start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 there must be another paint modification on these refurbs, as I saw an older VII in the shop this morning and the rear was all white, as opposed to the black upper section on the others(must have been 2678, I haven't seen it since Jared did last week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 oh yeah, I also forgot to point that out that when I saw 2678, it appeared the upper rear cap was painted white and the old flat black paint around the windshield was painted blue like on the newer units.

97SCT Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 As far as I know of VII's still in the old scheme; 2368 and 69, 2576, 2679 and 2781. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 2368 hasn't been spotted in several weeks and 2576 is currently parked in the back lot, so my guess would be either one of these two are next for refurb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 http://www.niagarafa...from-bus-riders With half hour service would they need more buses for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I would think so if they plan to get half-hour service for all routes...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashore_518203 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 With half hour service would they need more buses for that? What do you think? Most of their routes currently have a 60 minute round trip time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 What do you think? Most of their routes currently have a 60 minute round trip time. Wasn't sure how many routes as I didn't do homework on that as I was mainly focusing on getting from my points to points.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will NEVER happen!! No seriously, my sides are splitting. Wait...Is this actually real??? He does know that this will never be approved right, or has hanging out with Rob Ford recently damaged his fine motor skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
