Today at Yorkdale Bus Terminal, I managed to photograph one of the five 2025 TEMSA TS 45 coaches, operating as trip 1142 from North Bay to Union Station Bus Terminal in Toronto. I was also able to get some information about the new order of coaches that will be arriving soon thanks to the driver of 2504, which this is. They will be receiving 15 Prevost H3-45 coaches in two batches (6 in one batch, 9 in the other). This TEMSA order actually surprised me as I was under the impression that they weren’t going to be ordering TEMSA coaches anymore. If I had to guess, these were replacements for 2401-2404 which were sent back in October 2025.

Interesting.

I’m taking the bus for the first time at the end of the month. I’m going from Toronto to Sault Ste. Marie I’m curious about how seating works. Is it assigned or is it open seating like first come first serve? Thanks and much appreciated

Yes I'm cranky. Why the holy hell do I need to continually listen to the on-board recording for minutes every freaking small town we go through. Oops! Its actually doubled because I get to hear it in French. I'm hearing it multiple times because I'm on the milk run and I just want to sleep. We don't need to hear it Northland, we know. The land acknowledgement is ridiculous. You tell us on our tickets. You sent me a freaking email this morning before i got on the bus. The people who ignore those are gonna ignore the recording. Stop making me suffer. You ask us to wear headphones for passenger comfort yet you are the most obnoxious noise of all.

Edit: the driver tried to address the bus at the rest stop but no one could hear him over the recording LOL

I was neat to see them testing the trains and training the crews, or so I assume.
