UprisingCanadian Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 On 6/25/2022 at 6:21 AM, Transit Guy said: Would this be considered a slight fleet expansion since there are currently only 20 2001 Orions left? I know some units have been slowly retiring over the last year or so, but the suburban routes have been operating normally in their absence. 14 active units as of August 4th 2022. 9211 was just scrapped, and a couple more are on the retirement line.

There is no timeline for entry into service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe waiting for ALL 21401-21425 models to be delivered to RTC, put them all in service at once? 21408 is at PNE and that is probably one reason there is no timeline?

Phillip Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 They have been doing work on those new Deckers, I noticed they installed Compass validators, and wires hanging down. Slowly, but surely being commissioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, Pretty sure all orders now come with a shield at the bottom regardless of the transit agency ordering from a certain time down at Lougheed.

UprisingCanadian Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Made a stop at RTC yesterday, noted that 21401, 21405-21407 do not have their license plates yet, and that 21401 and 21402 have their compass card readers installed. Unsure on 21401s plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
