lip Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 32 minutes ago, Orion V said: So you're saying the 2017+ LFSes have another type of door or they are newer so you don't notice this draft? Like what Bus Medic said, the design is different. The end result however, is that the amount of draft which comes into the bus has been greatly reduced. It's still there but not really noticeable, we'll see if this holds as the buses age. The bigger issue is the overall design of the door which doesn't allow for them to be flushed closed completely (ie: in the way that they are with Xcelciors and Orions which have a similar door design- with the exception of the rear). I honestly dont know how this bus has gone unscathed without significant revisions throughout it's history (asides from the rear engine mount change, and heating/cooling system changes).

BusFreak93 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Interesting little tid-bit included in page 48 of the March 2019 CEO report. TTC will order winter tires for Articulated Buses. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 If the Glycol is applied at the garage, won't it wear off as the bus is in service? Unless they plan to hand out spray bottles of them and leave them at terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin ORION Posted April 16, 2019 Root Admin Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Heard from some of the guys at Harvey shops that they are looking at repairing 9003, but needs a donor bus for parts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that a few NovaBuses are parked near Harvey with parts missing. They look like they've been there a little while. 9003's gonna be tough considering multiple parts that were not involved in the crash were harvested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned before, 9003 is there missing most of the top of the rear. An old paint nova is also there, completely stripped. I am assuming this is 8573. 9128 was also there not sure for repairs or rebuild. There was also several new paint novas. One of them was xx32 and another was 920x. There was also another that might have been missing some decals. There was also a few others, but the fences, 9128, 8573 and a work truck were blocking my view of the others 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7575 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm pretty sure 8832 is the unit at Hillcrest. I'm gonna make a trip out to Hillcrest soon. 3332 is at Hillcrest too. Does anyone here work at Hillcrest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon looking at my photos again, it appears that the xx32 bus has an external camera, so it's most likely 3332. I am also confirming that a 862x, I think 8620 is parked beside 8573. It also appears that 9128 in rebuild, or is waiting for repairs. No longer tracks with 9125, possibly in the same situation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar_AC_23 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 I'm assuming that Mount Dennis's artics are next for rebuild which is probably why the 2013 artics that were at Wilson and Malvern are going to Mount Dennis before and after refurbishment.

TTC4120fan Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 9007 is rebuilt parked beside 9028 and 8573, and speaking of that unit, it’s front end is by itself parked close to 9003 and 9031. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
