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.

The artics were definitely being used on King back in '07, pretty much as soon as they entered service. Mind you, it was mainly on weekends, when there was no B-Line, but they were never really completely exclusive to B-Line.

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.

I think you're right. 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...

I got off 2110 a couple minutes ago. The electric doors are nice but very slow when closing (most likely because its new). Theres a new stop announcement scroller it shows the stops in a light blue but the one facing the front is a older one (most likely from unit 0821).

Not surprised. With the shortage of buses we have i wouldnt be surprised if they end up on other routes tbh

Do you mean 913 and not 1609?

Yes, 1609 was the vehicle number originally entered in Trapeze OPS but obviously 913 was used instead.
