Lex Reid Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised. There is also the chance that it's not split 55/50 but something like 70/35. It's not likely through. At the end, I predict only 2 divisions max would get LFSes with this year's 105 and next year's 108 buses. Arrow getting 213 LFSes and have 80 hybrid left is even a possibility. 213 LFSes at Arrow would be a bit too much in my opinion but you never know lol, Maybe Queensway would get some of next years LFSes because the D40LFs will be retiring pretty soon. But I guess we will see in the next 9-10 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 With the Hybrids going to rebuild, i'm sure who ever has OG Hybrids would be getting those new NOVA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrazsteve Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 With the Hybrids going to rebuild, i'm sure who ever has OG Hybrids would be getting those new NOVA's. Serious, do you even use your brain to make that statement? They can just move hybrids from Arrow to Malvern/MtD. Some people would love it if they have them at every division but in an operation point of view, it's easier to keep similar equipment together. Even if they were to place some of these LFSes there, it would be either Malvern or MtD, not both. 213 LFSes at Arrow would be a bit too much in my opinion but you never know lol, Maybe Queensway would get some of next years LFSes because the D40LFs will be retiring pretty soon. But I guess we will see in the next 9-10 months. You'll never know. They plan to increase the capital spare so that means more hybrids at Malvern/MtD. Supposedly 240 hybrids at Malvern, 280 at MtD, 60 at Wilson and 40 at Harvey for rebuilt. That just leaves about 70 hybrids for Arrow. TTC intend to do another bus order of 97 bus in 2017. Those could be LFSes or Flyers (possibly). These could end up at Queensway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NFI makes a lower bid than Nova then that could possibly happen in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtrazsteve Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 with the ttc livery I meant It would be cooler if they painted the entire top part red instead of a red bar with the fleet number. Maybe if TTC painted the Rocket route buses differently. Highly doubt they'll do this though given the whole bus situation and shortages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrazsteve Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 All 105 Novas should arrive by the end of the year. Apparently TTC got money in its budget to acquire all of them in 2015 removing it from the 2016 budget. THat explains why they are arriving ahead of schedule. http://ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2015/November_23/Reports/2016_TTC_and_Wheel-Trans_Operating_Budgets_Report_Nov_23_201.pdf (Page 6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delivery schedule had them wrapping up in January. If Nova is ahead of schedule that would explain them coming in early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if TTC didn't have money to pay Nova, Nova would hold them until next year even if they were built. A month matters a lot to accountants. Do you know what is the latest delivery right now?

Andru Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 As seen on Facebook, buses at least up to 8501 are parked at the factory and being readied for delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A month matters a lot to accountants. Do you know what is the latest delivery right now? And money matters to companies. If TTC hasn't paid, they aren't getting buses.
