Theodore Leung Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 You'll find the answer in the post above yours It continued as a route 120 among others... I think that post means the 6012 was on 120 BEFORE its run on the 14, not after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I think that post means the 6012 was on 120 BEFORE its run on the 14, not after... Nope. Let me be more specific... It departed WEM at 15:28, then should have departed Jasper Place as a Stadium bound route 120 at 16:07. It then would have deadheaded Downtown to run as a route 14 WEM express (16:54 outbound departure), meaning it wasn't scheduled back at WEM until 17:56. In any case, this is all moot as it was changed off for unit 4776 at 16:06 (I may or may not have been there ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 6011 did a nice long piece of work this morning, back to the garage for 3 hours, and back out for another 8 hour piece this afternoon/ evening. I'm actually thinking the "shifts" that 6011 was MIA for last week were probably for familiarization for a new group of drivers who are getting the BYD's on these longer pieces they seem to be doing now. Potentially upwards of 16 hours of service for 6011 today if it makes it until 22:30 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted February 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 6012: Arriving at JP NIS Departing JP NIS EB Jasper Ave at 101 St 6011 is back out in the AM and PM today, so it is on track for a 16+ hour day with about an hour and a half between runs at Mitchell. BYD advertises 1 hour recharge time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaintrolley Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 6012: Arriving at JP NIS Departing JP NIS EB Jasper Ave at 101 St Looks to me like departing JP as a 14 WEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Leung Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 #6011 arrived WEM with its NIS sign on at 5:27pm and started its trip on 109 Jasper Place bound at 5:31pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 6012 today on the 6, and then the 8. The piece it was on today covers SW and SE Edmonton. I'm surprised it has made it's way to Mill Woods, but, I probably shouldn't be with some of the wacky runs out here.. I think the only terminal a BYD hasn't been to now is Lakewood, Government Centre, and Clareview. As it was, Centennial 4879 was on a 6 multiple times today.

M. Parsons Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 4880 appears to be operating BYD runs as a baseline diesel comparison. 4883 may be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaintrolley Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 6012 on the rte 115 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 6011 was back in service this morning. Both buses have been on "regular" BYD runs today... so a short 2 hours at the garage between runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 6011 on a 120, and later NIS as it ran from Stadium back Downtown to do a 14. Ironically, a passing under trolley traction poles still in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Weird and cool! Good old Jasper Ave's weird green light poles and structures. I remember when they were installed....Mayor Decore days I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 6011 seems to have died again today. When it should have been on the 57, there was nothing and later 4832 was on that run when I caught up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_harris01 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I had to do a trip on the 57 at 916 which should have been the BYD as OT to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hmmmmm. That means while I was stalking the 6012 today, if I had got on the 57 instead of the 81 a 9:30ish at 82 Ave and 99 St I would have ran into you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainTransit_4488 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Had anyone seen the electric buses lately. I tried looking on that new site transit55 and they haven't been seen for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Prior to their disappearance... upwards of 3 weeks ago? From the tracker, they were seeing frequent change overs... reliability seemed to be an issue but that is an assumption at best. Either they've departed Edmonton or maybe Major work to increase reliability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Leung Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I just saw both #6011 and #6012 outside Mitchelle Garage, seems like they were being placed on trailers... Maybe their trial is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaintrolley Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I think ETS trialed the Electric Buses just to appease council, and not because of any genuine interest in actually having / running / operating electric buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
