Nice! One question, what number was that Dennis Dart that was painted in the new blue and green livery?

[Welwyn22]

9091 - formerly a Whistler Dart (0003, 0005 or 0006)

The "single door" LFS was a suburban. Never seen one with a Voith transmission... weird...

Hey Welwyn22,

Is there a way I can figure out when the bus 66 leaves downtown to Cowichan Valley? Doesn't seem to be on their website. Would I just have to phone their transit hotline?

I don't like the combination turning signal/sidelights the Novabuses have. They don't blink completely on/off like the Dennis buses' do so they are less visible to motorists. To make things worse, some Novabuses have them on the inside where they are masked by the headlamps' glare. The Euro-spec lights on the Dennis buses are safer because they are only turning indicators. Amber sidelights are illegal in Europe for a good reason.

@Welwyn22 - I figured it was one of those thanks. Might be in Victoria for a day this coming week..
