M. Parsons Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Figured I would start a new topic to keep track of LFR spottings to keep track of new buses are they arrive and enter service. The new buses have DPFs, then? I'm surprised that's not being advertised more prominently. Oops! I meant to include IF they have DPFs. I don't know if they do... Although, I believe a lot of new buses are coming with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Marriott Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 According to the wonderfully well prepared presentation on new technology by a U of A student working for transit at the Community conference, all buses from 2007 onwards come with DPF's as standard. And he also said the new order would come with security cameras installed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Meh. Spotted 4540 twice today. So far the confirmed Mitchell D40LFRs are 4531, 4538, and 4540. You'd think that with the trolleys moving out of Mitchell, they would end up getting a lot more new buses, but of course ETS is never consistent with anything (Except random dieselization) Anyone keeping track of how many LFRs we have right now?

M. Parsons Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Just went through a made a listing of what LFR's were spotted where on each day... So far it looks like this for garage assignments: 4523- Westwood 4524- Ferrier 4525- Ferrier? 4528- Ferrier 4529- Westwood, orginally Mitchell 4531- Mitchell 4533- No clue. Spotted on 109 St/ 87 Ave. Likely Ferrier or Westwood. Some Mitchell runs go down 109 St as well. 4536- Westwood 4538- Mitchell 4540- Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 4535 might also be Westwood as I saw it on the 2 the other day (If it was a Mitchell run on the 2, I would have ssen that bus elsewhere by now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted April 24, 2007 Board Admin Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 4535 is indeed a Westwood bus - I saw it on the route 162 Castle Downs. There was another LFR behind it in the stall at Northgate, but I'm too lazy to look up what route that is. If it's the 150, it could be something other than Westwood (Mitchell).

Michael Marriott Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 The bay behing the 162 is for the 16, so whatever LFR that was is a Westwood bus for sure. 4535 is indeed a Westwood bus - I saw it on the route 162 Castle Downs.

Board Admin A. Wong Posted April 24, 2007 Board Admin Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ah - yeah I was kind of on 97 Street southbound waiting for the lights, so I couldn't exactly see. For the record, the run number boxes are just displaying the route number - because this hasn't been documented yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are. 4524 had 51 on the run number box... 4528 and 36 did not. It seems to be driver optional at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted April 24, 2007 Board Admin Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hmm, interesting. Wonder how one goes about getting it to display SUPER EXPRESS or if it is programmed in with the code already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted April 24, 2007 Board Admin Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Since we seem to be tracking the LFRs and garage assignments, I decided to start a new topic for them.

T6H-5307N Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well I had quite a surprise just now. I go out for a quick bike ride and decide to pull out my camera to see how steady I can hold it. I turn around and.....well this kind of explains it (Too bad it didn't really turn out ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmontonguy Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 There was an LFR on the 109 and i missed it! How sad! I did finally get to see one though, didn't catch the number but it was on the 128, headed to University at about 17:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T6H-5307N Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 4542 was on a 109 (842) school special today. The number boxes are definitely replacing the window cards, as it was displaying the school run number (842, in this case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
