Seashore_518203 Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 5 hours ago, Leapster10 said: By the way, why were the DE41LF's retired? 0602 was dead already, but 0601? Last time I saw it, it was in pretty decent condition. Plus, wouldn't the 07's be more suitable for retirement? They're around 16 now. As mentioned in previous threads, the 5 retirements due to the new buses were 0601, 0602, 0705, 0722, 0821. All buses have been removed from property and have been auctioned off by Bryan's Auctions on Highway 6. Hybrids 0601 and 0602 being hybrids, most likely had battery issues and it would not make sense to repair them at this point. Even thought the 0700s are older, they are better suited to stay around for another few months. As for 0610 and 0615, it is assumed they have battery issues as well and most likely will not return to service, even though they will not officially be retired until replacement buses arrive in Spring 2023. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leapster10 Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Does anybody know why Hamilton chose the articulateds to have a new livery? Also, why not carry it over to the 40 footers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why not carry it over to the 40 footers? When the first artics entered service, the livery was chosen in a contest. That occurred in late 2006/early 2007. Additionally, it was being branded as the "B-Line " Livery and that they'd only be on that route. I don't know when that changed, but when the 08s came in, the restriction of sorts to the 10 was changed and they were found on the 1 as well as the 25/26 as well as I think the 27/35 and/or the 5A/5C. I could be wrong of the latter. But overall, I feel as if that livery is fir the artics. I'm not certain if that would change or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, it was mainly on weekends, when there was no B-Line, but they were never really completely exclusive to B-Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonka Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Yeah, I remember that. At the beginning they were used exclusively on the B-Line, University and King on weekends but after a few years they started to make their way over to the 25/26 and 27. Now they pretty much go wherever they're needed so I guess the paint scheme doesn't really mean anything beyond only being on artics. When the 2008 D40LF's were first delivered, the first couple of them had gold paint instead of yellow but they dropped that idea before the rest of the order was even delivered and the gold ones were repainted. I doubt they'd be interested in changing things up at this point, at least until the LRT is running though I'd imagine it'll have its own Metrolinx paint job unless the HSR ends up operating it.

It was probably the closest available replacement bus, and not enough run time left to bring in anything smaller. Now if we could just see a slinky on 6/7/8 some day... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
