Since the buses (at time) were only 8 years old (thus not meeting the minimum 12 years old to be sold as scrap) they were sold to Complete Coach Works, excepting 804. I'm fairly certain I'm missing details however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain I'm missing details however. Only the 900s used ISE-Siemens system, the 800s use a GM-Allison system. Most of the 800s are still on the property, but not in any condition close to operable. Probably parts donors for the 1000s. I'm not sure why 804 is still evading its fate. This is vaguely related, but didn't some of the 900s have a promotional wrap similar to the 5900s? Anyone have photos of these? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
