Valley Metro (Phoenix)


ABQ RIDE

Recommended Posts

I don't have my notes handy, but the MCI order probably derails some of the plans for XD40s. It's interesting to note that RPTA exercised options for 24 XN40s in April and 27 more in October. I wouldn't expect to see these until next year, so the end is in sight for the 6600s.

The one-door XN40s wouldn't be replaced before 2024, which is after the current NFI contract ends. They should remain on current services that don't use the (green) DE60LFRs or  XN60s.

I did some data dumpster diving on Phoenix Transit deliveries over the last couple of years:

Gillig:

34 CNGs were delivered April and May 2018 (5241-5274). They were immediate followed by 12 diesels in May and June, presumably 5600-5611.

13 more diesels in February and March 2019 (presumably 5612-5624).

Only one (diesel) shows delivered in November. Data elsewhere suggests 15 in this batch (converted options, last Gilligs for Phoenix).

 

New Flyer:

20 XD60s (one November 2017, the remainder January-March 2018) (8102-8121)

10 XN40s  November 2017-January 2018  (maybe 7300-7309) (is there a 7300?).

14 XN40s  January 2019-May 2019

2 XN60s March 2018  (I've lost count with these, 7173-7174?)  (any other XN60s were before July 2017)

11 XN60s  January 2019-May 2019.

And 16 more Gilligs in December.

Well, the planned delivery schedule that was in the 2014 contract didn't seem to agree at all with what actually happened. The 2017 contract calls for 14 XD60s, plus 5 XD60 options and 15 XN60 options in the current contract year.

Does anybody have this month's auction results? Sierra Auction has appeared to not show the results after it is completed.

I had it bookmarked, but the link doesn't work anymore.

In addition to the 07 D60LFs, 7129, 7135, 6600, 6604, 6609, 6626, 6645, & 6647 were added to the auction late.

Phoenix took 5 XD60s in January.  It looks like the Gillig spigot was turned off in December.

They actually took in six XD60s, numbered 8122-8127.

That bus is part of an order of 24 buses, numbered 6823-6846.
