2023-2025 Community Shuttle Replacement + Expansion
UprisingCanadian replied to Express691's topic in Metro Vancouver
No, there are supply issues with ARBOC, so they have gone with G5s in the meantime. Different bus is better than no bus. -
24001 is currently at BTC, presumably being prepared for service.
-
-
If anything, the XD40s would be going to STC for fleet consistency. BTC has never housed XD40s, but Surrey has consistently for a good 2-3 years now.
-
Now back at VTC, also as a parts bus. No it isn't. Still undergoing repairs from the accident two years ago. They weren't able to repair it for some time because of police investigation into the incident. 2106 and 2270 are long term BO. 7447 appears to have an exhaust issue. Much louder than usual (Possibly straight piped)

Apparently several 2009 Nova HEVs to RTC. Looks to possibly be following this pattern - BTC acquiring new artics > existing RB artics from BTC to HTC for R6 > HTC HEVs to RTC to free up HTC space > RTC L drives to BTC for 240

Vancouver general sightings and notes
UprisingCanadian replied to Enviro 500's topic in Metro Vancouver
Why you being such a baby about it? Holy hell, get over it. -
Nope, returned to service pretty recently. Apparently ISM parts are hard to com across? I don't know. I'm gonna go ahead and call it quits on 3317.

Vancouver Trolleybus Discussion
UprisingCanadian replied to Vancouvers Trolleys's topic in Metro Vancouver
On the more extreme (and thus, unlikely) end of things, this could also allow for N19s to New West, 41s to UBC, N8/15/20/22s, and a few more I'm probably forgetting. -
Edmonton and Area spotting and news
UprisingCanadian replied to t_harris01's topic in Greater Edmonton Area
Hey, Vancouverite here. I'm hearing that there is apparently a Solaris BEB over in Edmonton, supposedly wrapped/painted in the ETS livery. Is this true? Side note: In Vancouver, we are demoing a Solaris trolleybus. -

15001 did a single WB 501 trip, then 323s for the rest of today. -

Found this on autotrader: Ex-ETS 6002 for sale. Not sure if any of you guys have $53k to drop on it though... https://www.autotrader.ca/a/new flyer/38 passenger bus/burnaby/british columbia/5_58504674_20220216144947281/?ms=heavy_trucks&showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&showVs=1&orup=1_1_1&sprx=-1 -
Vancouver Trolleybus Discussion
UprisingCanadian replied to Vancouvers Trolleys's topic in Metro Vancouver
In today's Mayor Council Meeting, it was mentioned that there is a demonstrator trolleybus (very likely an XT40) coming in with in motion charging capabilities. Now, my question is, are we just getting a unit from KCM/MUNI? Or are we getting a brand new demo unit, somewhat similar to what 2101 was. Screen_Recording_20230629_135841_YouTube.mp4 -

Needs it to pass CVI, regardless of weather.

2101 is awaiting parts for heating. Not sure about 2106 and 2270. 8114 is undergoing refurbishment I believe. 2506 is being repaired.

2020 (-2023) Articulated 60' Bus Procurement
UprisingCanadian replied to Express691's topic in Metro Vancouver
I stopped by Cullens and First Truck in Pt. Kells a couple of hours ago, and spotted four new deliveries. 22002 & 22012 at Cullens 23001 & 23005 at First Truck. Also, I believe that the Apex 2 bikerack (first seen on 18058) is the new standard bike rack. -

19303 made its first ever non-100 appearance Saturday morning on the 104. Internal sources say this is a BEB block. I just so happened to be in the area to grab a photo.
