Yeah, it seems like a common trend now for buses to go to BC right before they retire.

Why is there still a shortage of buses at those depots right now?  Is the C40 recall still going or is it finished?

It does say it's pending (with 4 other units) according to the TTMG roster, so it's not clear as to if the buses will see service at Bus Co or not at this time.

 

 

It could be possible for these O7s to run on the B100/103 given that JFK has loaned to these routes plenty in April, but let's wait and see.

 

Also if anyone wants to see what else SC has, it's 7619, 7624, 7631, 7657.

 

 

I don't think those are for service.

 

 

SC once had Diesel Orion V's, around 5 of them from the 95-96 batch that never ran in service. So I wouldn't hold my breath about these Orion 7 CNG's running in service on SC routes, I'd love to see it though considering I live along the B103 and like those buses.

 

 

Likewise they had 3 C40LFs from the '99-'00 batch as training buses for the '11-'13 order...possibly saw service for 1 day before retiring or returning to JG.

 

 

CP still is short on buses. Perhaps a few of the Orion VII's can go there (I saw a Hybrid on the Q38 sometime last week). 

 

As per the DTS of Spring Creek, these buses will be in the reserve fleet for SC once they come out of the shop. They are there for service on a 90 day loan so that JFK does not have to loan hybrids anymore. All 5 are undergoing work at SC right now. Here's some pics:
