This happens often. 3715----> Driver Training 3720----> Bus/Charger testing 3749----> Charger testing The only actual buses that will be officially moved will be 3715-3724, no other, no Proterra Edited February 25 by CJ. fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did the revenue service on 67 Pharmacy today morning I heard it was just testing but other units could take longer as they aren't even ready. It seems a few have a problem with backordered parts. But that is good news at least some should be back very soon Birchmount is still lagging along with no fixed date for their XE40's to get in service. Last time i heard it was servicing for 3715-3724 at arrow, but that clearly wasn't the real issue. All ops are already trained so its likely charger related. Nobody seems to know I did hear something interesting though. during the 1 year trial period, the XE40 will still be serviced by Arrow Road. Birchmount will only do the basics to keep them on the road such as charging, tires, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 3753 is back on the 67. Wonder if they are gonna come back to regular service soon or they require more testing data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its in service training so passengers are allowed. Its almost never signed in because its not actually in a run so its hard to know from tracking if the bus is just training or in service training March 27th is new board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumiko Oumae Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Since #3715 and #3720 are still at Birchmount, can we class them as Birchmount buses given the remaining eight will move before the new board starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Let's wait for formal movements to occur... right now they're testing/training buses, which we don't normally classify as official "movements" (think the 11xx Orion VII HEV buses that were at Malvern for driver training - they were sent back to Arrow once the Orion VII NG HEV buses started arriving). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ. Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 March 10, 2023 Two of the Birchmount Divison XE40 charging infrastructures are malfunctioning and do not work (not providing regular watts). I highly doubt any movements can happen until it gets resolved. Potentially another annoying delay again, but the good news is that they have sent contractors out that are trying to resolve it for the past few days, and there are still about 2 weeks before the board change so let's see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
