whistler Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Now that I am seeing these in the flesh alongside the older buses I really like the new livery. It is different enough to look fresh and new but not so different that it looks like a different transit system or out of place next to the older buses. Looks right at home parked next to a row of Invero, Orion VII, and D60LF etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve long, long since ceased production and support of those, I guess retroschool missed the memo. According to this thread it appears the old Faraday bells stopped being produced in 2008: What's the name of the company that manufactures the Faraday brand and where are they located?

romanr27 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I've ridden 4607 and 4609 now, and noticed something kind of interesting. On 4607, the stop requested sign says "Stop Requested" (English only), and the rear one says "Arret Demande / Next Stop". On 4609, both front and rear say the bilingual version.

Orion V Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 The updated windows have a problem. The passengers sitting directly behind the driver cannot see outside on the left side as they left a huge stretch of wall between the new driver's window and the first passenger left side window.

It isn't a problem. They simply moved the pillar back. Driver safety is also important. Passengers are not on the bus for long anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
