3we Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 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.

3we Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I did find some notes...the fleet plan showed 16 "expansion" buses and 29 replacement buses for FY 2020 (where we are now). This is in addition to the MCIs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3we Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The XDE60 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 5631 was found on the 29W today. No word on 5632 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztonyg Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 So today I saw 5635 on 138E and saw 6501 on 83N. I guess the delineation between First Transit and Transdev is either 5632 or 5633. Surprised that 6501 is still alive and kicking due to the fact that so many First Transit D40LFs have been retired.

The XDE60 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 With most 2007 D60LF's retired (8025 and 8038 are to be sold on Saturday), is there a clue that new Phoenix artics may start service soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3we Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
