Enzo Aquarius Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Unfortunately, 7526 was not inside the garage. However, I believe I saw a Barrie Transit D40LF inside the garage, I swear! Unfortunately, I wasn't in position to get a good shot of it. 7526 recently got its livery replaced, so I doubt it was retired. Perhaps it was outsourced for repairs? Also, First Student's garage would be the closest garage to Barrie with experience with New Flyer buses. If that is so, perhaps something happened to the bus that couldn't be fixed in Barrie and had to be sent out? The only thing close I can think of BTOWC meaning is...Beeton Truck and Auto Wreckers? Bingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. DeLarge Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Just in case anyone is wondering where the Beeton lot is... Beeton Truck & Auto Wrecker lot The last of the Brampton fishbowls and some Orion I's went there in 2007. But hopefully 7526 is somewhere getting repairs done. Yay optimism!

YRT-Guy Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 2034's retired. License plate and engine compartment is gone. 2035 remains. And also 2036 is at Fiba Canning.. NOT officially retired yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulated Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 And also 2036 is at Fiba Canning.. NOT officially retired yet. Excellent, 2036 is my favourite remaining I. Glad that it's not gone yet... although it probably won't see service this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Aquarius Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Here is a picture of 2034 at Miller today (notice the missing farebox and license plate): As Bowes seems to be off-limits due to construction, perhaps they're just going to leave 2034 at Miller until it's time to be hauled out?

Tom1122 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Appearently 7526 is unroadworthy and I think this is it. It looks like the oldest bus in the GTA is now TTC 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, 7526 is probably gone, It wasn't in the yard or in the FS building at all during midday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 #7526 was not in very good shape when I rode it this last October (2008), so I would not really be surprised if it does not return even for historical use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. David Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Wow, so both YRT midget Fishbowls are gone now? That's a shame. What am I supposed to look for next time I'm in YRT land? And I hear TTC 2017 might be done as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the summer, try 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 20 and 27/28. I don't think it goes out very often anymore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still hard to find that little bugger! What routes is it common to find 9401 on? As vivablue5215 said, it can be found anywhere Can-Ar services. Once in a blue moon, it does show up at Finch. Otherwise, you might have to go to Islington Loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
