16 McCowan Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 On February 18, 2016 at 9:17 PM, Articulated said: 781 and 784 are also apparently at Can-Ar's yard in Vaughan, ON. Their subsidiary company TOK Transit is the contractor for Fort Erie Transit. What buses, if any, were retired when the 2014 XN40s entered into service over a year ago? The original staff report recommended the replacement of 4 New Flyer buses, although now with the 5 ElDorados gone (and no further reports of any new deliveries) I'm guessing they were retired instead. And it seems as of last week, I spotted #781 (renumbered #2803) operating for Billy Bishop Airport Shuttle via Porter Airlines in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandeWest_B35G Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Update: According to MHT's fleet manager, buses 746 & 747 (D40LF) and 748-753 (D40LFR) will be retired with the next order of buses. The new model(s) are yet to be determined, however they will be CNG buses. Arbocs 720-725 and 730 will be replaced by new Arbocs as well. This will happen within the next 5 years. Edit: next 5 months, apparently. D40LF 743 was retired in August of 2017 after breaking down. It was sold to a private owner back in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandeWest_B35G Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Saw 6 buses at Gas City Metals in Dunmore. Couldn't see the numbers. There were: 1 Classic in the blue/red colours 2 New looks painted white 2 Orion IIs in the blue/red colours. Probably 769 and 785 1 Orion II without a sign Edited November 25, 2018 by Jaymaud0804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandeWest_B35G Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 The oldest buses (746 and 747, 2005) active this morning. Also, (according to a driver), one of the maintenance guys attached a flute to one of the air release valves on 750. It now sounds like a steam train.

GrandeWest_B35G Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Medicine Hat Transit is no longer going to replace all of the diesel buses, stating that they'll keep it 2/3 CNG and 1/3 diesel. They are ordering 6 new CNG buses and 5 more diesel, either 35 or 40 feet long. They are also ordering 7 new special Transit buses to replace 720-725, 730, and 737. https://medicinehatnews.com/news/local-news/2018/10/25/city-scales-back-natural-gas-transit-switch/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiExpress Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 The tender for the 11 buses was awarded to Grande West for 35' Vicinity buses, 5 will be diesel and 6 will be CNG. The 7 specialized transit buses was awarded to Overland Custom Coach and by the looks of it will be a Glaval product such as the Titan II LF. https://docs.medicinehat.ca/OnBaseAgendaOnline/Documents/ViewDocument/REGULAR_MEDICINE_HAT_CITY_COUNCIL_3568_Agenda_Packet_2018-11-05_6_30_00_PM.pdf?meetingId=3568&documentType=AgendaPacket&itemId=0&publishId=0&isSection=false&fbclid=IwAR1izwuajw7tYdelUGeQNwIwCmYTQTwVjshJTUarvmQ7G3TTtnw92y3Fu-w 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandeWest_B35G Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Does anyone know any history about: Mobile command post 1044 (old look, formerly 744) City storage 1045 (new look, formerly 752) The last bus in the gallery quoted below: On 10/7/2009 at 10:01 PM, Stevep said: Some retired Medicine Hat buses I saw on my way to Regina. On 10/8/2009 at 5:46 PM, TTC 9701 said: What is the last one there? doesnt look like a Club Car. On 10/12/2009 at 7:19 PM, M. Parsons said: It just hit me... I think 773 was a Fleury. 773 was a Solo, and that definitely isn't a solo. The fleet number of the bus in question is 714. The fleet manager didn't know that bus existed.
