Oc4526 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 According to this Instagram post, 8170 appears to be at 1500 St Laurent. Can @Enviro_1203 confirm? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enviro_1203 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I cannot remember if it was here or elsewhere if someone was asking whether these buses had an Allison or ZF transmission...I can confirm they are Allison. Also, on the rear, fleet numbers were installed on the top right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCIBUS Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Still like the old paint scheme at least in the rear of the DD buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudebrains Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I can't wait for these to come into service! They look really nice, especially with the white on the back (although I do think the red on the sides should have gone all the way up...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCIBUS Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Question? With the present DD Bus fleet the ones we already have plus up to 8179 how many more can Industrial garage hold assuming you remove the arttics & 40' buses that are there now? How many would we need to fill the gap? Fleet#? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many would we need to fill the gap? Fleet#? Theres no specific number of buses that would be required to move elsewhere with the new Double Decker arrivals, however, its likely that the 40s would be moved back to other garages depending where they’re needed. There is plently of extra space at Industrial depot, and if it becomes too tight, maybe a handful of artics would be moved to Merivale as there is much more space there with the Orions undergoing retirement.

MCIBUS Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I think you miss tead my question? What I like to know is how many DD Buses can Industrial Garage hold, with all buses 40 & 60 buses not there. I'm not sure of the exact # of DD Buses OC has presently, but how many DD Buses can Industrial hold with only DD Buses parked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
