David I gotta say, very impressed with the photos! I know Paul Leger. Cape Breton was a fine but an old town until the underground mining has finally shutdown in early millennium, now it's deteriorating and nothing to see! That garage hasn't change much except putting around the part fence!
Cimon8000 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 Spotted the new Vicinty #7085 (30ft model in 2 door version) in town, one more is due coming. Surprise found at the garage are two ex London NFI Invero buses 419 and 438 sitting at the back, 3 more are coming and will be used to replace the used D40LF buses

And I thought the V's would be retired instead of the D40LF's, but this is good news though.
