I know MiWay and some other American agencies have done it, also is their a possibility the XDE60s will have rear windows? It's possible but I highly doubt it.

Young Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I wonder if they will get the 1st unit of the XDE40s or XDE60s way before the rest of the units so they can train drivers like they did with Nova artic 9000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar_AC_23 Posted February 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 As mentioned in another thread, the hybrid flyers have begun production so hopefully we will see a pilot bus in the upcoming months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimeTio Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 The TTC XDE60 in that photo is possibly only a demo unit. I currently don’t know if they have anymore buses in that plant, but it’s the only unit visible. Right now the plant is using fleet numbers “6501-6568”. Once any of the Xcelsiors are finished production, they will be driven off to another unspecified location where an interior cleaning, wash, and more decals are added to the bus before delivery. Toronto might change the fleet numbers once driven to the “unspecified” location. I’l get more information & photos in the next couple of weeks-months. That unit is also missing major components to make the bus function. Including the engine and transmission which haven’t been installed yet. (Also don’t make fleet number assumptions until It’s fully confirmed.) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crix Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Thought the ttc was done with those type of glazed windows and were gonna go with what 83xx onwards have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s likely they may push the majority of them to Malvern or McNicoll which pushes their 32/33xx LFS to Queensway to retire the Orion VIIs there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not move that many if any at all. MtD was designed to be able to store a large number of artics and as you said 29/929 and 941 operate out of this division in addition to 35/935 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just not sure how many buses they'd need/run for 935 in particular. I don't count them. That's why im not sure how many artics they'd need at the division. I do know it's 10 minute headways at peak hours for the 935. i hope it stays that was and they don't widen the headways to "maintain service capacity" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
