Apologies for the picture quality... was taken on a cellphone. Spotted 8202 with the same treatment done to it the other day. Not surprised though.

School Bus 101 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Just wondering, but does anyone know why these buses (along with the Nova CNGs) regularly disappear from service for months on end, only to abruptly return to service for 2-4 weeks, and then disappear again and repeat the cycle?

This isn’t just limited to the CNG’s. This happens regularly within the larger fleets as well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to hazard a guess, they’re sidelined for longer periods waiting on CNG specific parts periodically, that CT wouldn’t keep in stock at the garages, for obvious reasons. They’d be shipped in from flyer or Cummins distribution centres. backorder parts delays would be fairly common for the rest of the fleet too. Obviously properties try to minimize downtime, but it’s a fine balancing act between that, and keeping parts worth many thousands of dollars on the stockroom shelves gathering literally inches of dust for “that one time we actually needed that thing” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I believe Edmonton and Calgary will share their parts stock too, in particular for expensive, rarely needed parts. This might be more so on the LRT side of things mind you. As an example, ETS would keep 1 of part A on hand, CT would keep on of Part B. In the case of the CNG's, well, CT would be on their own.

Bus_Medic Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Might work if the parts are held on consignment. Whomever’s hands carry said part over the counter, pays, regardless of whose stockroom it’s in. I believe that over here in the nascent country of Dougiestan, parts are not owned nor paid for by the TTC until they leave the central wharehouse inside hillcrest complex. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechSpotlight Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 8202 is now back in service featuring a new red wrap like the CNG Novas. However, the old CT decals it had when it was first delivered remains! I will send the photo when I get home in a few hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechSpotlight Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 As promised, heres the photo of 8202. Lots of touchups are needed, as well as the fleet numbers/decals have not been changed to the newer CT style. The only place I could see new fleet numbers is the side fleet number on the drivers side of the bus. Picture is attached. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! That is probably more due to habitual work from the operator since those 2 buses are the only ones set up like they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
