* Mr. Black * Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Should be at Veolia's Newmarket division (at least that's where it was spotted last), which is around Aspenwood and Yonge (just north of Davis Drive). It's right beside the GO garage.It's not easy to get shots... you need to cross a parking lot on the south side and peer through a chain link fence, or else walk down the (private) driveway leading to both garages. and the bus itself can not be seen as it is inside the building.... its on the side facing the GO transit retired buses.....but i will try to snap a pic or 2 on saturday, when i am up there next....

Enzo Aquarius Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Veolia, north portion, is easy to view via the service road behind the Superstore (it's a public road as far as I know), the south portion is visible from Aspenwood Drive, near route 53 stop 5702. You have to enter the south Colonial Chevrolet parking lot, behind the Sunoco, to get to the fence. The only other way to view it, as mentioned above, is via the Colonial Chevrolet back area. Mind you, this is private property, though I see countless people walk through it to get from Wal Mart to the Superstore. In fact, I saw one person thinking that they can get to Aspenwood from the Superstore through Veolia. A transit operator in the yard stopped her. The other issue is that, as Viva Black mentioned, the bus is inside the garage, and thus, only visible if the garage door of the bay it is in is open. Not only that, but the outside parked buses generally block the view of the garage bays. The only time most of the buses are out of the yard, making all bays visible, is during the morning and evening rushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Aquarius Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well, looks like we'll be seeing 9401 in movies and TV shows now. Glad to hear that some of the Is have received new licence stickers, though that doesn't guarantee they'll last until December 2010. Just means they'll be sticking around until some point in 2010, probably until the new EZ Riders are received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusFreak93 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Do I need permission to enter this facility? The area the buses are kept in fenced in and theres a sign saying private property (video surveillance). So that would be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. DeLarge Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 The area the buses are kept in fenced in and theres a sign saying private property (video surveillance). So that would be your best bet. Bring the telephoto lens. Looks like a nice little collection, but is that a For Sale sign on the fishbowl?! Edit: Google Streetview location.

Tom1122 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 So it's true, 9401 was saved. Has anyone seen 2051 recently or has it joined its sisters in retirement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. David Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Wasn't sure where to post this, but I just found something very strange while going through my photos from my visit to Miller. There apparently are two '09 D40LFs at Miller numbered 939 ! The difference between the two is that one has a front fleet number, while the other does not. Here are the photos. 939 #1 (Parked outside; has front fleet number) 939 #2 (Parked inside, has no front fleet number) Why would YRT have two buses with the same fleet number? This is very weird.

Same number and same plates so: it must be the same bus. It appears one photo was taken before they applied a front number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
