Most of the members on this board are outside of Winnipeg and have no idea of what the first post in this topic meant. Winnipeg Transit has just received the first of their 2017 order of New Flyer XD40 buses. The order will be numbered from 170-199. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wt_enthusiast_photos Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is there any difference between there and 831-888? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WpgBusDriver Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Nothing that I saw. The shield looks like it might come a bit more forward. Didn't get a close look, too many supervisors and NFI people working on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viafreak Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Is 170-199 replacing some D40LFs or are they just adding to the fleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering 911-926, 992-993 and the 1998 D40LF's (1998), I'm wondering the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I've been advised to check when 170 goes into service to see if the multi-coloured stripe lower body side decals that were left off 831-888 have been applied. Apparently they want to see if they can work out a placement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viafreak Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Those multi-coloured stripes look ugly. I hope they give 170 the same treatment as 831-888. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viafreak Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 The seats look quite different compared to the original XD40's and the XE40's. How do they feel compared to the old seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viafreak Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 So similar to the ex-Calgary buses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 It's been over 2 months since 170 was first spotted and no one has yet reported seeing 171. This is an odd pause between deliveries... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an odd pause between deliveries... I've noticed that too... But if I recall correctly, back in 2015, #831 was delivered in April and entered service in May, but the first time I saw #832 was only in late June or early July. So I assume it will be delivered around that time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pictures as I was biking outside of Transit's base on Osborne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
