TransferPoint presents York Region Transit Thomas SLF-235 Charter

TransferPoint is back with York Region's "end of summer" charter, chartering a 2002 Thomas-Dennis SLF-235 #203 from Miller Yard. This charter is expected to last 5 hours, and will tour around the sights and streets of Richmond Hill, with a couple of stops in King City and Markham.

The date of the charter will be August 22, 2010. Pickups will be offered by participants travelling by car/carpool ONLY at Miller Yard at 11:00 AM. No effort will be made to wait for the northbound 224B, as we will leave at 11:00 AM sharp. Participants travelling by bus are to meet at Platform 9 of Richmond Hill Centre Terminal at 11:30 AM. We will wait until the 11:33 AM northbound Blue arrives before departing, in case of late comers. We will hopefully end the charter before 4:00 PM at Miller Yard, where we will be treated to a yard visit, which will hopefully consist of a 2xx SLF posing, a tour of the 10xx D40LFs, and hopefully a bus wash ride inside the paving yard. If you need to leave before the yard visit, please notify us beforehand and we will drop you off at Richmond Hill Centre Terminal at around 3:00 PM.

The cost of the charter will be $30. Waivers will also be collected before boarding. Reminder that you were sent a waiver if you received a confirmation email. You will need to print it out, sign it, and give it to us on the day of the charter.

We will have a lunch stop approximately an hour into the charter at Smart!Centres Richmond Hill, also known as Metro Plaza. The plaza offers a McDonald's inside Wal-Mart, KFC, Taco Bell, Burger King, Mr. Sub, Pizza Pizza, and Bayview Court Chinese Restaurant.

Interested participants who emailed me before July 31 are confirmed for the charter. If you are still interested but have not emailed me, please do so and you will be put in a waiting list in the case some participants drop out between now and the charter.
