AA-99 Inc., Niagara Falls. LDS 162A (originally WLT 794 (RM794)) is still parked at Robinson Street though is
currently (9/98) not being used and is up for sale at $60,000.
Aikin, Angus. HPW 449D (Bl FLF/ECW) has finished in Cookstown and since Autumn 1997 has been parked
next to a barn in a field in the very small community called Ivy, well off the beaten track.
Brampton Transit, Brampton. Fleet number 8500 (B757 UHG - Ld Olympian/ ECW) has had its three track digital
route number display removed and the destination box centred with the surrounds painted black. At some
stage a one piece window has been fitted in front of the driver’s position; it previously incorporated a small
opening window at the bottom for fresh air.
Capital Double Decker, Ottawa. PRR 115L is an all-over advert for "Heineken Beer" (applied 5/98); the
Routemasters are in the traditional red livery.
Corporation of the City of London, London. KAG 854 (Ld PD3/3/NC) is still owned (9/98); at this time it was
parked at the waste treatment works in Adelaide Street.
Currie, Campbellville. NXP 824 (RT3817) is still partially derelict behind Mrs. Soffel's Frozen Yogurt Cones
immediately south of the railway crossing in the village (9/98).
Donatelli, Port Dalhousie. LUC 246 (RT2020) and MLL 903 (RT3593) are both still in use, and in good condition,
in the harbour area.
Double Deck Tours, Niagara Falls. 604 DYE and CUV 209C have been prepared for service and numbered 18
and 20 respectively; the latter, being open-top, is unlikely to be used on the Niagara Falls tour, but more likely
on charter and private hire work. They have Ontario licence plates BJ6 939/43 respectively. VLT 187 and
EDS 48A (originally WLT 504) remain untouched since acquisition and are stored in a barn.
