Old Look Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 7002 was parked in the compound at Ferrier today in case anyone wants to have a sneak preview. Looks like a different style of ETS decal on the back end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted March 16, 2018 Board Admin Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Nice! Thanks for sharing your pictures. These are the first buses to come with "Edmonton Transit Service" decals from the factory. That silver piece on the roof at the back was painted blue on the last batch of XD40s.

awstott Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 7006 and 7007 were out by the west shop doors today too. Wish they'd gone for the full roofline like Calgary did. It looks so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen that too. Is that part of the historical Fleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awstott Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'm pretty sure that's because the city still has one in their fleet. There is one that they use out at the Cloverbar Waste Management facility. There is actually still 2 in the Paterson compound too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Judging by the photo I wonder if the driver side mirror is electric controlled? The Novas at CMBC has electric driver mirrors and looks like the same type as this. The new Xcelsior's at CMBC are manual driver side mirrors. If you look above the driver window that's an external camera by the unit number just in front of the 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awstott Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I wonder why they didn't paint that air scoop on the rear - looks kinda out of place. Pretty sure it's painted on our last batch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Vicinity's were the first... By the way, are these D40LF's still sitting in the compound right now? This is a picture when I visit 2 years ago.

Only 246 is left The Vicinity's also have driver side camera (wonder if there is a separate screen for it for the driver?) They also used the same ETS stickers from the front on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that the next morning after I posted it. I don't know if the decals are applied here or not though for the Vicinity buses. The pictures of them I've seen while they are still in BC don't have them on yet but it may be applied before delivery to Edmonton - I just don't know.

The driver can tag the date/time with a button so they know where to view the footage when they pull the cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
