I have a 3 questions for you; What are the LO-41, 53 & 63 ?
Do I understand correctly that 2024 is being retained as a (museum) bus ?
Is 2083 or 2085 still on the property ? I ask because late last week, I saw 1 of these two back in service, in fact I did a double take when I saw it because it was a number that I had not seen for awhile.

Oh never mind, I just saw the light.

L041 (zero-4-1), L053 and L063 are the Nova Bus order numbers for all the CDTA LFS. Not bus fleet numbers.

L041: 9901-9944
L053: 9951-9959
L063: 3001-3011

Yes you are correct they are the order numbers, I read it wrong assuming they were new demos. 2024 is retired just haven't taking off the property yet. 2083 was retired back in 2009 in Troy Division it never seened Albany service and 2085 was recently taking off the property and according to ebay has been OOS since Semptember. Also correct 9945-9950,3012-3020 Novas, 9960, and STAR 226 all don't exist the rest of the numbers missing are just retired.

That's what the rumor was. I personally have not seen it, hence the reason for my inquiry.

All the Orion VI's that were out back @ the Albany Garage, are gone, hopefully they have been bought and will find good second homes.
