FIDO Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 so if all things are going according to plans, 21301/03 should be on the road as of this week coming up? Where did you hear that news? I doubt you'll see it because from what I understand, the mechanics were still "taking it apart", to check it out! (As they like to say, "Parts are on order") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRT21101 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I am just waiting for the day that they put one of them outside in plain view, just so I can see them for myself! It is really ticking me off how they have been kept inside for a good 3 weeks now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC60102N Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 They can't prep them outside obviously... Typically new buses at GRT are always parked outside and clearly visible from Strasbourg Road, has been the case for years dating back to Kitchener Transit, this is the first time a new unit hasn't been parked out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit 20 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 hi there not anymore due to the new garage being built all new buses are going into the garage or being parked on ottawa street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRT21101 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 So do we know when they will start going into service? I would assume that it would be soon since it has been almost a month since the first one was delivered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivablue5215 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 They'll be in service when they'll be in service. Geez, can't you people relax? It's just a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are more excited than others! So just keep your comments to yourself please and thank you! Not exactly helping your case are you? Please stop asking about when the Xcelsiors will be in service. They'll be out when they're ready. They might be waiting for the rest to be delivered. You never know.

Chris W Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Much like when our Xcelsiors started in service. HSR had to train drivers to use them, as they were more complicated than our D40LFs. HSR's Xcelsiors were on the property a full six months before entering service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSR's Xcelsiors were on the property a full six months before entering service. Some of that had to do with moving stanchion positions in the 11 series, but nonetheless.. Just wait for them. It's just another low floor bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivablue5215 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 hi everybody just got a email from my source there is about 7 or 8 at the garage the 92xx might be off the road before june. With the university specials done for the year, I'm surprised if they still even go out. They're usually only out on mornings these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
