It broke down by the end of the night. IMG_9885.mov 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumiko Oumae Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Just a question, will the new 60xx XE40 and the 66xx LFSe+ buses finish off the remaining Orion VIIs? These new electrics will spell the end of the NG HEVs, 80xxs, 81xxs and 83xxs. But I heard they'll likely kill off the 84/85xx LFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already recommended selling the 8400/8500s to the scraped yard in 4 year time. It's safe to bet in 1-2 years time, this city will be Orion free (from regular service). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These new electrics will spell the end of the NG HEVs, 80xxs, 81xxs and 83xxs. But I heard they'll likely kill off the 84/85xx LFS. 340 e buses are not enough to start killing the 8400s. They need another batch to do that. It might go to the end of the 8300s. They shouldn't even be replacing them on a 1 to 1 ratio since the e buses can't see service for as long as the diesels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3G Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 There are 508 Orions on the active roster right now, so 340 e-buses wouldn't be enough to even pension off all of those, never mind the Novas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityflyer Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Well technically some of those Orions already have their replacements accounted for in the current hybrid batch. Once all of the current hybrid batch of the NFI and Novas enter service, more Orions will pensioned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3G Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Many of the current hybrids have already entered service, though. Quick glance at our wiki shows 124 outstanding: 37 Novas, 19 New Flyer rigids, 68 New Flyer artics. If we assume that these will replace a similar quantity of Orions still left behind, let's estimate, 160? due to the higher capacity of the artics (no idea if those numbers track), that would still leave you with 348 Orions. This is not enough to do even a 1 to 1 replacement, never mind, as you yourself pointed out, increasing the spare ratio as they can't last in service as long as the diesels. I must ask again if there is any official confirmation that the 2015-16 Novas are going to be killed off in the near term. That seems like an astonishingly shortsighted plan. I do not think we are so well off in this country that the money to replace ~220 low floor, air conditioned buses that are not even a decade old couldn't be put to far better use.

What was the cause? Operator Shortage? 81xx units breaking down? I’m pretty sure 8049 was supposed to go out yesterday but it came back due to the shortage, it’s on the 46 right now. 8067 is on the 50 right now.

T3G Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 An operator shortage would not lead to mothballed units returning. @kitortransitwhat exactly about my post do you find confusing? I thought I expressed myself quite clearly. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Mothballed means in a way set aside or suspend usage until they know what to do with the bus. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
