dre Report post Posted February 15, 2013 Does anyone know how many new buses were ordered from new flyer for edmonton and what length ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armorand Report post Posted February 16, 2013 For 2013? Hm, there's definitely the C40LFRs. As for other ones, they're retiring the 200s, so I imagine that they must be making new orders eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enviro_1203 Report post Posted February 16, 2013 Does anyone know how many new buses were ordered from new flyer for edmonton and what length ?If there are, and I find out, I will post anything I know. The 2 C40LFR are in service. I don't think the new Passports are yet, HOWEVER, ALL CSO's were trained on airbrakes as the 2012 Passports with International chassis are fully air brake equipped.

armorand Report post Posted February 16, 2013 I'd say look through the Edmonton City Clerk system, or city council minutes/agendas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armorand Report post Posted February 16, 2013 You found something? Please tell us... I look through City Clerk (CKLDMIS) systems, and council agendas/minutes, for information that i could use on CPTDB or other forums I'm on. However when I made that post, I just came home on the first bus running from staying up nearly 24 hours, so instead of researching, I went straight to bed! I'll attempt looking up these NFI/ETS orders right now, and if I find anything, I'll re-edit my post with the new information! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armorand Report post Posted February 17, 2013 http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/new-flyer-riding-high-on-big-la-deal-190338081.html (where I got my LA bus numbers) http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1112017/new-flyer-business-update (article mentioning below quote with ETS) So far in 2013, new contract awards of 1,009 EUs (consisting of 659 firm orders and 350 options) have been received by New Flyer from the following customers: Los Angeles, Rochester, Phoenix and Edmonton. New Flyer issued a press release regarding the Los Angeles award on February 7, 2012. LA has ordered roughly 550 units right? 659 - 550 = 109 units. Divide it between the three (Rochester is a smaller city, so lets say they get 10-20. Also, Phoenix is a fine example of American suburbia)... and since they're retiring the 200s, ETS might be responsible for a good portion of the remaining buses on order.

That's a whole lot of speculation that you're passing off as fact. How about you get the facts instead of just speculating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dane Report post Posted February 17, 2013 Actually he used the word "might" which is speculative in nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armorand Report post Posted February 17, 2013 That post has my math, my reasoning and my links to supporting articles. I tried looking up City of Edmonton records, no avail. Yes I was guessing, BUT the guess was well educated, so I dont see it as a reason as to why everyone should go World War III over this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Report post Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) That only seems to say seven buses are actually funded, or am I reading it wrong? / missing something? Nope! You got it right. 7 buses are being funded. 2 of which are the CNG units. Edited March 22, 2013 by BCT-3122-D800-10240 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M. Parsons Report post Posted February 17, 2013 Wow. This is such old news... From last year. Yes, 7 buses. Budget cuts killed the project profile that included 40+ new buses to kill off the 200's. I believe the 7 buses are mainly for growth, not replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M. Parsons Report post Posted October 4, 2013 OK, beating a dead horse, but a nice roof shot of 4880 clearly with no A/C. Incidentally, the buses have a warning not to use the High Level Bridge. Should be temporary. Apparently the issue is with the warning bar at the entrance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t_harris01 Report post Posted October 6, 2013 Most if not all XD40S are at mitchell. 4887 is also at Mitchell. 4884 had broke down a few days ago and was towed back. Few still sitting on T1 waiting for somw minor details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly shows that these are non-A/C units. I shall make sure I get a look at the top of one of CT's XD40's after they arrive to see what they look like up there since it has been published that they will be A/C equipped.
