Why not just wait until the first ones arrive? It's likely we'll see it in the next couple weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an educated guess. (And I was in conversation with the garage manager about it prior to my re assignment....so.....yeah.) But until someone who does carry that distinction comes along here, I’m the best you guys have got. I’m not perfect, but I try to keep my limited scope of information accurate, when and where I’m at liberty to share (all employees sign a confidentiality agreement in their contact) and my speculation to a minimum- as much as you refuse to believe that. what I CAN say with certainty is that queensway can’t accommodate them. The shop ceiling is too low. Technicians have noticed that they risk hitting their heads when they were on the roof servicing the HVAC units on the 8400s stationed there. (This is coming from a 20 year queensway tech who’s on the project with me) Health and occupational hygiene has agreed....at least until some building mods can be carried out. The mobile scaffolding for servicing hybrid batteries are identical. -another thing to ponder...If the commission is in such a great rush to send the 1000s out to pasture, why are they receiving vision installations en masse while malvern’s are being culled? The new hybrids aren't going to Queensway wasn't that already obvious? They only get "hand me downs" from other divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabianColeyLOVESBUSES Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I been told the first nova hybrid will be expected to arrive in a couple days possibly the second or third week of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honesty haven’t the foggiest idea how big of a job a reno would be to the repair area, but it’ll have to be undertaken sooner or later. They may only have to do a couple of dedicated spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly going off topic, but the storage bays were getting repainted before I left. The other projects underway are the replacement of the fuel tanks.

Bus_Medic Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Wilson is getting the air make up ducting redone, and led light fixtures installed. They shut down 1/3 of the storage tracks at a time during the day. Regarding queensway and the hectic amount of construction going on/crowded conditions, the idea of simply forwarding the selected units to mount Dennis for installation has come up. Might be a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andru Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Why does the latest Service Summary list only 3100-3329 in the current order?

7879 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Seeing as it says "48 of 270" vehicles in service it's probably a typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andru Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 It's just weird that they would add a typo that wasn't present in the previous Service Summary. We'll see, by coincidence or design latest deliveries are at 3329. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope not a pilot, and they wont be in the same situation since Daimler (largely at fault for the hybrid fiasco) has nothing to do with the bus production this time around.

Someone on Facebook said that he saw a TTC LFS hybrid just outside Kingston on delivery while driving on the highway back in late August, so that's probably the pilot bus. And largely thanks to the complete redesign of the BAE powertrain, it has been proven to be far more reliable and uses less fuel than previous generation of hybrids, according to a few of Quebec's transit agencies that received this same type of bus in a large order placed by ATUQ.
