I believe the 1st gear is disabled on this set of coaches.

I'll bet my 2 cents those ones used the more powerful 6V-92TA rather than the 6V-71.

@jamin108 I really know how you feel, man. Here in Portugal they did the same thing with our Volvo B10R, and I totally agree with you when you say they can reconfigure the buses instead of wasting money unnecessarily. I wonder where the bus companies have left their common sense...

BT kept Brandon's Orion for 19 years... until it caught fire. It could of lasted for another 10 years!

im so mad i always wanted to drive one and now i drive for cdta and they retired them before i could drive one all the driver say they was good buses and neva broke down like the buses now just said that they retired good buses for these bullshit gilligs hybrid with no power i miss the orion 1

[jamin108]

Why should day retire a good orion1 for d40lfr's don't they have enough of those??

If this bus can last over 20 years why not keep it a few mor years until it breaks down.

They build buses and waste them why dont the just take the stairs of the orion1 and converte it into a lowfloor bus.

they also can switch the engine.

People waste money!!!!!
