general682002 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I can;t rememeber exactly but either the Prime Minister or Premier is suppose to make an appearance for the event. Prime Minister wouldn't give it a care about the bus. The Premier, GO Chairman and some other staff will be there for the presentation. I rememeber Gary McNeil was trying to make public announcement during the 2002 GO DD trail test, but that pouring rain was too much and everyone sat inside the bus and take a ride. And the media was there, doing all types of different shot angle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was told the Premier will be there, as well as GO Board of Directors, from my understanding. Not sure if someone from Alexandar Dennis will be there...

Enzo Aquarius Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think, even if we don't see it personally, we'll definitely see it on the news on the 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centralsmt Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Where was this photo taken? If it wasn't taken in Falkirk its definately not the first enthusiast picture of one. The BBNA group had some posted weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VIII Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 If it wasn't taken in Falkirk its definately not the first enthusiast picture of one. The BBNA group had some posted weeks ago. My post has been edited accordingly. I can see that these buses will be an immediate attention-grab. I was looking at my other pictures of the bus at school today, and people were asking me about the bus. No one ever usually comments on my transit photos (other than E-Z Riders ), so I would imagine these are going to have quite the following.

yrt304 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 is There any Info on the Unveiling of these buses as i heard it was on Thursday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general682002 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think those are. Well, it's going to be one of those public ads just like the GO Train installed. I forgot what's the company called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
409 Thornton Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 What routes would these be running on. I have a feeling the Hwy 2 bus and the Milton/Mississaugan and maybe the QEW Express Bus will have them because they are the more travelled bus routes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall that they should have enough clearance height for the Pearson Airport for their new service, but still will be for the 407 service exclusive.

Cityflyer Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Nice! Bring on the dd buses to Canada! It's too bad only Alexander Dennis' buses are allowed in North America. Those Volvo B9TL with Wright bodies look amazing! Even better than the Enviro 500s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
