2 New Livery BiLevel Coaches (No Cabs) at Lambton Yard this morning! didnt catch car #
I guess these will be delivered to Willowbrook via the Canpa Sub by Kipling?
That would be much too logical. They are interchanged to CN via the daily Lambton-Mac Yard transfer. Then CN takes them to Aldershot, onwards to Oakville, and thence to Willowbrook.

I was going to suggest GO using an F59 to shuttle them from Lambton Yard and save some time, but given push-pull changes, you'd need a pair. Maybe too much trouble.
Having a GO crew (plenty of whom are qualified for the Canpa Sub) come to Lambton for the GO cars would likely create a union issue. Having a CP crew set off at Willowbrook might do the same. CP used to have switching rights on the Oakville Sub but has likely given them up, so CN would want a cut in any event.
I've heard that the new low floor buses are going to go in service in May. Apparently they will be put in use on the busy bus routes around the network to increase capacity, so Newmarket, Stouffville, etc.
Are these low-floor buses that are not double-deckers? I haven't heard anything about that, that would be interesting...haven't seen any pics or anything. If you mean double-deckers, they can't be on Newmarket because they can't be on any routes that run to Union due to being too tall to clear the Bay/Yonge St. rail overpasses by the terminal.
The newest low-floors are 20 cm shorter that the first gen Enviro500's, and 10 cm shorter than the second (current) gen, IIRC. This was done specifically so that they could serve Union. Now whether that means serve Union now or in the future is the question; the future bus terminal will be south of the rail corridor instead of north, which makes the Bay/Yonge St. rail overpasses a moot point.
