UPDATE: The ex-Caledon Grumman that was parked in a random yard in Thunder Bay has been removed. Don't know what happened to it.

This maybe what you're looking for?

Yes I remember the bus very well. I didn`t ride it but I saw it alot (More times than 142)
My first sighting was when the bus did 3 Waterloo/Fife. It stopped and these 2 little lights started flashing at the rear. my next one was on 1 Woodlawn I was on my school trip it was following my bus, it stopped and I asked the teacher about this bus. He came back here to see it and he was very surprised to see it. It still had the logos on it and the number 70. we also hade 2 Classics as well. 1 from Grand rapids and UTAH. I remember see a pic of the Grumman and the 2 classics on a website. the Grumman was parked at the garage with 127, 71 (UTAH Classic) was outside and 72 (1990 Grand Rapids Classic) was in the garage.

The bus looked like this but parked beside 127 at the guelph garage.


The site was somewhat like this.

there is 1-3 units on Barton Rd near Arrow and Sheppard along with MCI and Prevosts. most look like parts units with others being used for party bus/ tour use

While cleaning my office in preparation for retirement I found the paperwork for our use of the Grumman 870 in July 2000.
