This unit is retired advance due to fire. All units underwent life extension between 2013 and 2015 and YRT is expecting D40LF to last 18 years. so can not say rest of this series will retire at this point.

D. DeLarge Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think D40LF 333 might be pooched, it hasn't shown up out in service for a good while now. 546, 547 and 623 likely done as well, as those have been MIA over the past little while (I suspect retired when the other remaining 500's were). EDIT: after a good long absence, 333 appears to be back in service (as of March 13th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed YRT about availability of the 5XX and 6XX EZ Rider IIs a few weeks ago (was hoping to do a charter). They informed me that the remaining 3 units are now retired. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I identified one of the other buses as #210. I don't know the 4th bus' number or which of the buses facing away from Jane is 222. Edit: I did a little more research and found out the number of the fourth bus is 217. It appears the buses are from South to North: 203 (facing East), 222 (Facing West), 210 (Facing East) and 217 (Facing west) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. DeLarge Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Wonderland reopened in early July, so chances are those plans were communicated to York Region well ahead of time, giving them enough time to close up the Wonderland drive-thru site in mid-June. Someone on another forum reported two of the Wonderland units, 210 and 217, popped up at another vaccination site in Vaughan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s two there: 210 by the road, and the other 217 is buried behind the school partially blocked by a tent. There is security on site though, watching during off-hours.

D. DeLarge Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 The 2003 D40LF fleet appears to be down to just one or two units left in active service: 312 and possibly 324. The other remaining formerly active units (318, 323, 330 and 335) haven’t run in service since late October, despite being out very regularly almost every day before that.

D. DeLarge Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 With all the recent 2200-series deliveries, it looks like 324 and 411 made their last runs on November 30th on the 26 and 446/4 respectively. 312 is the final remaining 300-series unit in service, and there’s still 401-406 running out of SE.

D. DeLarge Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 It looks like the final 300 is done: 312 made its last run December 14th on an AM Rt.77 run, and hasn't been back out since. Still a small handful of 400's running out of SE, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
