Saw some photos of a few in different phases on assembly. Exciting!! Can't wait to get these. Whatever anybody says about D40LF's, Burnaby depot is going to be a LOT better with less D60LF's. Too bad these buses couldn't be here for the 95 rebranding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You possibly saw 15009, it is the only XDE60 not in service at the moment. I'm not sure why, or where it is, but it's just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 160xx numbers. When there are two together, due to the paint scheme, they can look like artics. When I first saw them there, I thought they were artics as well but then I noticed it was two buses back-to-back. The numbers on these are in the upper right back corner, already with the H and in the new font. The destination sign is centre of the back (same as the 14xxx XN40s). No I saw the destination sign where the NovaBus LFS have their destination sign and the fleet number like a XN40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is more likely? 1) That there is a bus out there with a unique rear configuration that you and you alone have seen; that not even people who work at RTC have seen, and that would not fit into any of the current orders (all the XD40's are in service, with none having a different rear configuration, and you insist it's not an XN40). Or 2) That you are mis-remembering and mixing up details of a bus that you saw through a fence when passing by in traffic. We've all been patient and explained to you what you actually saw, but enough is enough. What you saw was an XN40 bound for Hamilton receiving per-service work at RTC. At this point any further claim otherwise is nothing more than spamming the forum. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bus Fan Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 That is to see the 2016 XDE60 arrive. Hopefully these buses enter fast like the 2016 XD40, and XN40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a term used to describe an over-excited enthusiast (as in, "to foam at the mouth"). It was originally used to refer to railfans, though it's often used to describe other similarly-esoteric fan communities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Since the expansion was approved by the mayor's, the D60LFs may stick around a bit longer if they are in good enough condition. This would be the only way I could see HTC having any possibility of having artic's. 5 minutes ago, Xcelsior Bus Fan said: What do you mean? Hate the D60LF's and want them out of RTC ASAP and replaced with XDE60's Doesn't matter how you feel about them. As far as I know, the D60LFs at RTC are probably in the best condition overall compared to others since many of them were recently refurbished, within the last few years. When I was at RTC in 2014, many of them seemed to have relatively new paint and the body looked in great shape from the outside. And they drove nicely, better than most I've driven at BTC. D60LFs that spent most or all of their time at RTC also had less stress put on them due to easier routes. The 98 was busy and long, but nothing compared to taking full loads up and down Burnaby mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
