Kumiko Oumae Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 On 2/16/2023 at 4:24 PM, Novabus photographer said: The new novas will be numbered 7000-7133 confirmed. Credit to @2044 and some other people for telling me Looks like they will be similar to the #3570-#3654 batch but with some possible minor changes: The red back. Has anyone know where will these be going? I believe they will also kill off the Orion VIIs as well at Queensway, Malvern, Mt Dennis, Arrow and Wilson. I wonder there could be possible movements and shuffles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 I wonder if these would be in service by summer if they’re delivered between March and May since they don’t really have to train the drivers cause they already have Nova hybrids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtrazsteve Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 I don't think training is a big deal. They'll train some crew and throw them out in rush hour runs first. It didn't take long since Wilson got Novas HEVs and to have them in service. Of course it'll remain limited to certain runs till most ops are trained. During the summer months, there is less buses especially all he reduction as well as seasonal changes, there won't be a rush to get them in service.

But then there is the reason to rush out the 10-11xx buses if the new buses get rushed into service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I have a feeling that the 7000-7133 Nova Hybrids will probably go to Arrow Rd to push out the 35xx and 36xx to Wilson division and then Wilson will give their 8100-8219(probably not the whole fleet) to Queensway division. What does everyone else think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does everyone else think? Sounds plausible. The diesel orions seem to hold up better than their hybrid brethren and from what i hear, theirs a nasty height restriction at Queensway, one that only the Nova diesels and Orion diesels can fit under. I wonder if some may get sent to divisions like Mount Dennis or something since i don't think ALL of them would go to Queensway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does everyone else think? Here's what I think. Yes the new nova hybrids should go to Arrow but send the 35xx to Wilson and keep the 36xx at Arrow to replace their NG hybrids and then consolidate the remaining NG hybrids at Malvern. Plus Wilson is supposed to get the 88xx diesels. The way that could work is the nova diesels that get displaced from McNicoll due to the nova artics moving in get sent to Eglinton and that would move the 88xx to Wilson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimeTio Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Seen photos of the Nova Hevs in Quebec. Their identical to the previous orders but have some new tech on the exterior. The red paint seems to be a bit darker now. New bike rack included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ. Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 It would most likely be the larger exterior cameras and some other changes inherited off of demo #3601 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Posted Tuesday at 11:15 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:15 PM Saw an Instagram story of someone passing Nova bus in Quebec and I noticed quite a few TTC novas but it was a very quick video so couldn’t see the back or numbers but could tell they are TTC vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
