RZ350 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 "New" being a relative term, we'll be getting another of the ex CMBC buses soon, and probably another one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbbyTransitFan Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Now I'm not the bearer of bad news, but is it possible 9751 is a temp replacement? Cause the other day when I was driving past Detroit Diesel on Hwy 1, I saw 9406 and it looked like the Whistler decals were off. So maybe 9406 is getting evaluated and going to be a perm replacement and 9751 will be sent back to Vic? I'm hoping that's not the case since I still have yet to catch 9760 which I have been chasing down but it's hard to catch it seems. But if 9751 stays, I will have a better chance at getting a ex CMBC bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe 9406 is getting evaluated and going to be a perm replacement and 9751 will be sent back to Vic?Doubtful. 9751 is a contingency bus meaning it does not have a lease fee attached to it, so it or another contingency bus will "be" 9269 until the actual one is either repaired or officially written off the company's books. 2009 novas have different lease fees than 2008s so you can't swap them interchangeably at will. I don't know that whistler can even spare a bus and if they did it would make sense for one of 9286-9289 to be moved instead, for the lease fee situation mentioned above and that moving 9406 to CFV would create an orphan bus scenario. My guess is 9406 is just in for some routine or mid life work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(aside from fitting a series 50 engine to it, xD) With the Novas I remember when 9381 was technically brand new and I rode it, it overheated and we had to let it cool down for five minutes before we could continue (in February 2010). 9406 could have been overheating in Whistler and it was sent down there for a thorough examination. Who knows? We're just on this board to discuss what could be, what should be and other trivial things. Only time will tell. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ350 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Word is 9751 is the replacement for 8035. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZ350 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 All we know for sure is that we were informed we would be getting 9751 before the 9268 incident, so now we are waiting for the official "word" that 9268 is a write off. After that "decision" is made they will send a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CV92 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Some possibilities for the other contingency unit - 8106 has been deplated. 9750 has been out of service for the past couple months, although it still has Victoria plates. 9751 and 9760 received that same treatment before they were moved out.

Blue Bus Fan Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I think with 9269 the 9265 will hopefully been seeing a lot more in service and maybe a livery update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ350 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 not sure what you mean by more service, 9265 is out every day and usually start of service to end of service. Livery update is not going to happen any time soon, we can't take it out of service that long. And Yes LOL I meant 9269. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZ350 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 That's what I'm saying, it would be awfully hard fornit to be out any more than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZ350 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 They had to rush it into service as we are severely short on buses, thus no working destination sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they will have the destination sign working anytime soon? Is it not programmed yet for Abbotsford, if so I hope they do that soon. I'll need to ride it myself soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
