DE40LFR Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 i remember one summer when the redwood birdge was closed and they used D30LF and one of them after they did the 20 then it went to do a trip and a half on a 60. D30LF? on 60?? thats odd. They put a DE60LFr articulated bus on the 60, and then a D30LF?? Doesnt make sense to me. Speaking of D30LF, today, i seen this mystery bus. I was on the 90 departing KP to go to New Flyer, when i see in the distant a 30 footer... and i thought... meh... jus another D30LF, nothing special, until I see "OUT of service" on the Destination sign, where winnipeg buses say "NOT ins ervice". Unfortunaly the bus passed in the opposite direction, and i could only catch a glimpse of it. Anyways, it had a destination sigh slanted upwards a little and had the grills and back end peices of an excelsior. Is there a 30 foot excelsior New Flyer built?? Or is jus an upgrade D30LFR?? im not sure, but it was differnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a DxxLFR front end on it though. Saw it downtown and didn't think to try getting a picture. Only thing Xcelsior about it was the rear end (windows in particular.)

DE40LFR Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Has a DxxLFR front end on it though. Saw it downtown and didn't think to try getting a picture. Only thing Xcelsior about it was the rear end (windows in particular.) I saw it too!!! The front was an LFR style, but the remaining of the bus Was excelsior. It was a 40 foot model though, not a 35 or 30. But it was in the Excelsior blue paint, but was was surprisingly different was the rear, where instead of the grills, it had a rear window!! Another difference was the roofline, which didnt have the front bulge or the roof shell, but it had two rooftop unites that were unfamiliar looking. I saw a glimpse of the interior, which was bare metal and very few seats, (design model maybe?). The bus as at Main/Pioneer around noon, and it stopped right infront of me!!! I pulled out a camera, but it died!!! > And my cellphone was full. I HAVE THE WORST LUCK TAkING PICS OF BUSES!1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board Admin A. Wong Posted December 17, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Nice, I wonder if they are developing a rear window version of the Xcelsior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Nice, I wonder if they are developing a rear window version of the Xcelsior. Hell, might even just be an upgrade to the LFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hell, might even just be an upgrade to the LFR. That's what I figure. With the discontinuation of the LF, the LFR is the base model. They might be going for a "premium LFR" which lands somewhere between the LFR and the Xcelsior.
