Vancouver Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Also 8204 is still having issues with its power, while 8203 is running fine. Not sure if it was running late due to traffic, but the next 72 behind it was less than 2 blocks away, so that definitely could have been the case.

Nick B Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 So it looks like neither of the Novas went out today? Both 72-103 and 73-106 had XN40's, and 3-105 and 3-107 had #8033 and #8019 (respectively). Would anyone know why that was the case, if it was? Unless I missed them, and they did infact go out (on different keys). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsgeek540 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I notice 72-103 again. Ill see if i can confirm that or if it a miskey as D40LF suggested. Confirmed. It is 72-103. 72-104 is one of those diesel nova data buses (8197, 98, 99, 8200) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatcoinz Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Where? On the dispatch fence? Yes you are correct. Beside the #7659. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsgeek540 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes you are correct. Beside the #7659. Looking out the window at spring gardens right now, it is currently 7659 and the 3 active CNGs. I dont see any other buses. Buses with BO fare boxes and buses from other garages are often temporaly parked there until they return to their garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit Fan Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I really ought to ride a CNG bus some time. I haven't been on one since we got them. Is the plan to purchase more of these if they perform well? How have they been so far? Any positive feedback from passengers and operators regarding them?

Nick B Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes, #8204 was parked on the dispatch fence as of 11:55 AM this morning, along with #8198, #7659, and #7515. Crappy photo taken from outside the fence: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Found out that 8203 is offsite, the board shows Thermoking next to the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsgeek540 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Found out that 8203 is offsite, the board shows Thermoking next to the number. That would answer to the AC, or lack thereof, concerns with that unit amongst operators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
