Ultimate Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 13 minutes ago, Articulated said: More than likely these are not new GO buses, but old ones. 8000-8021 (the original Enviro500 units) have been sold to CVS Tours in Victoria, BC. They are being shipped by rail, and many other members (here, in BC and in between) have spotted them in transit. New buses are built in North America, and would be driven here from the factory. They were moving eastbound at Markham / Sheppard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newflyerinvero Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Am speculating here, but I think that for the foreseeable future, that any new Go bus, whether DD or otherwise would probably have that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems they changed the design of the door to allow a better view for the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, they are building about a dozen or so buses in Scotland to ensure that their delivery totals stay on track. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever it is, maybe ADL wants to send out as many buses sent out as possible from Falkirk before Brexit causes possible havocs with exports.
