Where would the Georgetown South rail line go to?

"Georgetown South" alludes to the portion of the Georgetown line that would be shared with the Blue22 airport shuttle.

RailAmerica has no say, since they don't own the line.

I'm sure that CN on the other hand, wouldn't mind all that much.

Could be 2391 and 2392 or 2396 and 2397. Afterall, drivers aren't that reliable on sources. Let's see how accurate the info is starting next week when the 94 is suppose to be ran entirely by V Subs.

BTW, 2378 came today. At this rate of one per day, in around three week's time we'll see the hybrids since MCI seems to be delivering them in relatively good order unlike Orion's NGs! for TTC.

My understanding is that the hybrids are not included in the 44 buses due this year.

Ownership went something like Railink > RailAmerica > Fortress (who now owns GEXR).

Fortress owns RailAmerica but the still use the RailAmerica banner also they folder the FEC under RailAmerica control since Fortress bought them before buying RailAmerica

I've heard that the two hybrids are due this fall.

If you speak of 2394, then no I haven't saw it yet. And I dont think there are many Orion V Suburbans, saying that I have seen less than 5 in my whole life, where as the D4500's I've saw MILLIONS.

Take a trip to Finch, you will see them there.... as for in the Hammer, I think i have seen 1 V down that way.... and even then, all i could say was

[York Transit]

Saw a movie clip with what seems to be, not one, but 2 GO Transit Fishbowls.

I IMDB'd the movie and it appears to have been entirely filmed in New York in 2000 or so. Who owns these buses? Are they even authentic GO Transit buses?

Lucky you.... But there are more than 5 V Subs.

And Orion V was asking about whether the 94 Oshawa Hwy2 route was running exclusively with V Subs, as was apparently going to happen this week.

Those definitely have to be ex-GO Transit fishbowls. The paint scheme is spot on with their old style, and, well, they still have the Flag of Ontario on them (although, I think, this movie doesn't take place in Canada but California?). Awesome find!

EDIT: According to the IMCDB (Internet Movie Car Database), these have been identified as 1975 New Look 5307As. Therefore, they are from GO Transit's 1045-1049 and/or 1050-1056 fleet.

In other words, strictly used for the C and Bayview routes back then.

Just saw 2366 on 94 on a Sunday which means obviously the V Sub dominance on 94 hasn't started yet.

The number on one looks like...1102?

[Enzo Aquarius]

They've 'apparently' been confirmed as 1975 New Looks on that IMCDB website. Would be nice to have a DVD of the movie and get a better look.

It would make more sense to put them on that route since they are well suited for routes like that, except they dont have rear doors. Doesnt make much sense having them on the 407 or Unionville corridor.
