Oh s*it! There's 29008! I have to check the powertrain on those!

It seems they don't keep their equipment for very long!
More and more transit system are sticking to LF because of economical issues! Where as HF, it will be a rare to see in much future times!

As of April 2009, I have finally rode Nova Classic T-drive, two types of different engine! Which ones is better? Series 50 all the way man!

2011 Charter: Able to manage to attend as there are some good ones to go for!

Is GT getting a new livery? If so, when did they started to implement it?
Can't buy artics or double deckers? HAVE NO FEAR...
Want a 40ft HF capacity bus that's accessible? HAVE NO FEAR...
3 models still exist in North America:

what is with the advitar? is it Photoshopped?

I have some bad news. We ar not getting New Flyers we are getting more Nova`s.

All the LF`s and 142 are getting redone in the new livery. The leased classics are not going to be 120-121, they are most likely to be in the 104-109 area.

and there are 3 or 4 more leased buses comming.
Eastway #402 is a white bus now at the garage.

Based on all these leased buses arriving, I'd say that the Classics are not yet Endangered. Remember that there were huge service increases that I guess have now caused a bus shortage.

That moment where the buses are all lined up as if it was a charter.

A quick Guelph question as I'm going there tomorrow.
What is Guelph Centre? Is it a mall? I'm talking about the place across from the Guelph Terminal downtown. Not University of Guelph!

IIRC, it is a mall. I think, but dont holdme to it, there are some municipal offices there. The main transfer point for Guelph is about 4 blocks from the Greyhound/GO terminal. Ask anyone, and they will point you in the right direction.

oh, and if you are hungry, hit the pita place, its about a block away from the terminal :)

Well I took a special trip to the garage today. There are 6 leased classics and 87 a 1973 GM Fishbowl is the last fishbowl on property. 142 is on lockdown.

And there is a fire in Guelph today on Woolwich street.
