WpgBusDriver Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I've seen this bus driving around town lately. Any ideas on whose it is? And here's another one that's been sitting around for awhile. Went to the website one the bus and it doesn't mention this bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armorand Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 XD40 and Midi are both Fort McMurrays. NFI for some reason, always moves them around the city. They had an XD40 shell going down Regent onto Lagimodiere once, a few years ago. Wish I was around there to photograph them! Just too busy these days...

DavidW Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I just saw a 60' Excelsior operating northbound on Pembina highway. It was white with blue decals representing ocean waves along the bottom. Lettering indicated it was hydrogen powered. It was pulling into the stop at Plaza Drive northbound about14:50. Anyone else seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WpgBusDriver Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 What happened to my pictures from my first post?? I'm not seeing them. The hydrogen bus is running around the city doing testing and PR stuff for some conferences that are happening around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WpgBusDriver Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 It doesn't look like much of a demo bus now! No inside, drivers seat covered in moss, windows missing, etc. Have another pic of the inside but can't upload it,,,, says I'm over my limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 It was the sample bus Den Outsten brought over from Europe to use as a model for the D40LF. Last I saw it it was sitting in the weeds outside the main New Flyer plant in Transcona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2044 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 That's a prototype bus from Den Oudsten called X98. It used a modular structure and composite materials. It was to also use a conventional diesel drivetrain. It was built in the late 1990s and was being developed until Den Oudsten shut down. My guess is it was transferred to NFI for their own R&D.

horseman Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Another mystery bus, I have seen this one at Winnipeg Transit a couple of times.

awstott Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Umm that's a New Flyer product. Who has an assembly plant in Winnipeg? Oh right... New Flyer. New vehicles get road tested.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Found this unit in a lot in Winnipeg this past weekend. Photographed in a fenced lot at the corner of Dufferin and Stella. It's an RTS fleet number 1858 and the destination sign reads "151 Union Station". It's hard to be sure from the photograph but it looks to be a 35 foot unit. If it wasn't obviously American being an RTS, the red, white and blue livery also seems very American. Does anyone know where it came from? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CTA didn't roster any 35' RTS's and no RT'S's had that fleet number. I suspect any RTS's probably had electronic signs too. Presumably a movie bus.

Viafreak Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I saw that bus too when I went to Folkorama a few weeks ago. Didn't Assiniboine Park use a bus like that for tours around the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
