busfan0947 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 They already sold #9205, that was repainted in newer RTC livery, to the STL Levis back in 2007, as #9286. Sorry to tell you, but RTC 9205 was still in the old livery when sold to STL Lévis. I took this picture at STL's garage two days before 9205 went into STL's paintshop... In fact, none of the buses sold to Lévis at this time had the new RTC scheme when sold to STL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking to #9206 for some strange reasons, that was retired this year, even if it was not sold to Levis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huz66511 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yes, you're right. I was thinking to #9206 for some strange reasons, that was retired this year, even if it was not sold to Levis... WOW! That 9205 shot is a great catch. It looks like it just arrived at ST Levis. On a related note, I am going to post a list of the STCUQ-RTC 9100 and 9200 series Classics that were repainted into the RTC scheme. You guys can correct and add if you like! It will be in the RTC thread...Look for it. Cheers! Bob in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was then returned to Capital Bus Parts after. As Steve said, it was later sold to Galland in Mont-Tremblant in 2007/2008, for the shuttle service.

M. David Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Ah yes, #9111. That bus used to be a regular on the Concordia Shuttle when I started there in Fall 2007. I had always wondered what had happened to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andru Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Thanks for all your answers guys! So it would originally have been GET 9111, thus the STL unusual fleet number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from the spec's, that Orion I is original to GET in Bakersfield, CA. That's what I also find out. Ah yes, #9111. That bus used to be a regular on the Concordia Shuttle when I started there in Fall 2007. I had always wondered what had happened to it. That bus has a lot of history. Thanks for all your answers guys!So it would originally have been GET 9111, thus the STL unusual fleet number? It was originally numbered 9011 when it was with GET, even if the bus is a 1991 unit. Capitals Bus Parts renumbered it 9111 when they first leased it to Lévis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic 9401 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Sorry if I can't remember, but what will be retired with the arrival of the new buses? No buses will be retired before we received the 2010 Novabus L.F.S. (Probably September 2010), since the buses that the STL Levis wanted to retired, are already retired since September 2009, even if we haven't received the 2009 Novabus L.F.S., at the time. But here are the retired bus; 8826, 9431 (Accident Victim, Retired January 2009), 9051 (Ex. Grand Rapid MI #159) (Retired February 2009), 9053 (Ex. Grand Rapid MI #160), 9059 (Ex. Connecticut Transit #9109) (Retired February 2009), 9161 (Ex. Connecticut Transit #9112), 8867 (Ex. STL Laval #5822), 8868 (Ex. STL Laval #5843), 8869 (Ex. STL Laval #5811), 9171 (Ex. Connecticut Transit #9113), 8972 (Ex. RTL #9-010), 8876 (Ex. STL Laval #5836), 8983 (Ex. Autocars Quebec #89-111) (Retired February 2009), 8985 (Ex. Autocars Quebec #89-107). Don't you guys took pictures of some of those buses, at the STL Levis garage Yesterday? --- My 700th Post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no retired buses at the Levis garage. The only retired bus is the TMC RTS #9593 out back that is being used for parts storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, they probably got towed a few days ago, because there was still about 5 of those parked there, as of Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
