Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Fri May 11 07:22:53 2012, in response to [Washington] Metro Retires ALL Orion VI Buses After Two Fires, posted by Gold_12TH on Thu May 10 20:36:20 2012. Just to be clear, these fires took place a few weeks ago. I'm not sure the Orion VIs have been retired officially, they haven't been in service since the second fire and I think WMATA is planning to change the replacement plans for those buses, retiring them ahead of the 2100 Series Orion Vs and maybe even some of the 1997 Orion Vs. But I don't believe their replacements are even on order yet. The fleet is still meeting its minimum service requirements, they had a "reserve fleet" of recently retired buses so they pulled out 90-100 of those to fill in for the Orion VIs. |
