Gsgeek540 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 6054 dead on Centre Street around 2nd Avenue. Operator reports he's out of fuel... How does that happen?Had low fuel light going outbound which appears to be caused by a leak. Was scheduled to have a change off in the core but was mere blocks away when it died. Buses are supposed to have 100km after the low fuel light comes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 The bus gods frowned on me last night. Had 8189 and it lost power while at the airport. Had to limp it out of the bay and couldn't go above 8kph. They sent me 8285 and as I approached the airport 90 minutes later the interlocking came on hard as I was stopping at a set of lights. Thankfully no passengers were on board but she wouldn't move after that and I ended up with 8291. Thankfully that one got me home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, 2nd Avenue would've been on the hill, or at the crest of it. If the air system would remain charged, and no stops on the way down, could he have coasted into the core? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it would be difficult, and quite dangerous, to coast in reverse back into the core. Especially in an articulated bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it would be difficult, and quite dangerous, to coast in reverse back into the core. Especially in an articulated bus.Low fuel light came on during the trip outbound. Change off was supposed to at 6x2 when it came back inbound. Bus died at centre x 2 inbound.IIRC, 2nd Avenue would've been on the hill, or at the crest of it. If the air system would remain charged, and no stops on the way down, could he have coasted into the core? ;-)Probably coulda coasted somewhere a little more convenient than the edge of the bridge. The far side of fourth or fifth woulda been nice. I hear it took "several" minutes for his new bus because they went 10 street to 16 ave to centre to meet the bus...rather then bringing the new bus a block or 2 away and "walk to the bus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Had to leave 8190 on the side of Deerfoot tonight, hazmat had to attend a bad leak. Had to crawl under the rear of the bus to deploy the spill kit... grumble, grumble. What was really, really bad was that it was out of hand sanitizer so couldn't clean myself up afterwards... grumble, grumble. Starting to wonder what is so charming about buses!!!

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 8180 left waiting for a tow just outside of the Airport on Barlow Trail yesterday evening. 7869 replaced it on the 100/300. And 7871 crapped out on Harvest Hills Blvd. south of 96th Ave. yesterday and had to be towed as well. 8272 was the replacement for that one.
