Blue Bus Fan Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 That is good to know that they are in service today. The highest number that I saw yesterday in RTC was H16017. How many 2016 XN40 are at HTC so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando737 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Just these two as far as I know. I'll take a look in the yard tonight when I pull in at about 2200. Here's a shot of H16001 on layover at 22nd Stn. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 16xxx have the yellow stanchions(or whatever it's called) across from the rear seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bus Fan Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I got a ride on the H16003 today and got some photos: H16003 by Blue Bus Fan, on Flickr H16003 by Blue Bus Fan, on Flickr H16003 by Blue Bus Fan, on Flickr H16003 by Blue Bus Fan, on Flickr I notice that these XN40 are less noise compared to the 2014 XN40. The T-Comm on the 2016 XN40 announces the name of Canada line stations which is nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meraki Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 The first two roof panels have a curved indent and the 3rd doesn't. This is literally worse than the Roof Fairings Incident and I'm going to complain about it for the next 3 months. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the 2014 XN40s are excellent buses, and if the 2016s are muzzled the same way the XD40s are I will be very disappointed. 21 hours ago, Meraki said: The first two roof panels have a curved indent and the 3rd doesn't.

MCW Metrobus Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I drove 16003 this morning on a 155/410 tripper. I think I can safely say that the XN40s are not muzzled the way the XD40s are. Performance seemed similar to that of the 2014 XN40s. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
