"New" RTC mechanics training bus. Former 0717.

Do you know what are these new buses numbered? 5101-5107 for the artics, 5151-5158 for the 40-footers?

Wow thanks... I didn't know they were building electrics in Plattsburgh now.

They can't possibly have been leasing the Novas for 17 years?

I wonder how Nova will manage to deliver 342 buses by the end of the year. How many buses in the first batch?

Yes I'm aware of that. However my understanding is that this year's order is mixed diesel and CNG.

I take it that 1701-1716 will be CNG?

Lately Nova has been sending buses to Montmagny QC for painting, I know at least RTC Quebec and YRT buses have been painted at a shop there. I don't know if that shop has the capacity to do the TTC order though.

Is that a wrecked TTC frame behind the artic?

The decoder is out of date. From 2014 on, engine codes are J=diesel, K=alternate fuel (CNG), L=hybrid and M=electric. The codes no longer stand for specific engines.

Great work! A few quick questions: are there really 3 LFS on order for OC Transpo, or is it a mistake? Also, there are more than 5 LFS CNG on order for Red Deer, actual figure is more like 17, possibly not all delivered yet though.

Yes, Calgary, Hamilton, NFTA, Red Deer.

Thanks, I think it looks good.

Is this another new livery for VIA?

Excellent, thank you both.
