The photo is from several years ago, as the buses shown are from the first series of double deckers which were retired in 2018. Milton line riders may recognize them as they were parked next to the Meadowvale station for about half a year. They were sold to a tour operator in BC.

GO lets go of their buses at a relatively younger age than other agencies (don’t even get me started on the DDLs, some only lasted six years). You can find former GO buses is surprising places like charter service in Miami and sightseeing tour service in San Francisco.

Is there any reason the middle two are facing the opposite direction of the outside four? Does it have something to do with potential roll off?GO is really cheaping out on these new Trains smh

I'm surprised they didn't remove the decals.

Not my field and leave it to others if this bus will be retired.
2464 has having a hard time turning off Park St onto Hurontario with clouds of black exhaust and not sounding good.
As I head north on Hurontario 30 minutes later, ran into 2464 dead at Mineola with safety marker up around it. Given this is an 2011 buses that are being phased out, would one say this bus has meet its Waterloo for retirement now or is ML willing to spend money to keep it on the road for another year or 2??

For those who are keeping track, I noticed two GO coaches at the end of a CP freight train heading northbound out of the city today.

Those would be heading to Thunder Bay for a refurbishment.
Wonder when we will see refurbished ones come back down to Toronto? The articles about the refurbishment seemed to suggest the first few would be returning now.

I noticed that in the tender listing, it states that the 13 locomotives being acquired range from 3000 to 4000 horsepower.

The Siemens Charger and the F125 are the only new options I can think.
Keep in mind though both have more horsepower than what the tender states
