BramptonTransitFan84 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 0831 is the first used unit to enter service. Entered service today It apparently did a single 505 trip. Malton to Mount Pleasant and went OOS. I got a photo at Bovaird & Chinguacousy EDIT: did some more digging and it did a entire 505 block from 16:02 to 20:47 It also went in service today but disappeared mid block and route. Could just be our dinosaur CAD/AVL doing its thing lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was it doing one of the Amazon trippers. Literally a single trip from lisgar to gateway and then it's back to the garage Believe it was created when the evening rush from Amazon was super busy a few years back, now it's not as such based on the passenger numbers in the video lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502 Downtowner Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I just saw 0735 out as a training unit near BCC, I was very impressed with how she looks. To the naked eye, the average Brampton Transit passenger and even operator from the outside would have no idea that the bus was used and purchased from another transit agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTheJetPln Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Does anyone here have any updates regarding when construction will start for the Chinguacousy Zum? As far as I know, they were supposed to be starting sometime in March, with a completion date of October, or even next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Just now, 8000 said: 2475 has retired due to a accident during training. A replacement unit will be sent under extended warranty Source? And How was it in training if I was just delivered today based on the picture I saw and the plastic wrap was still on the front so how could it have been retired and also training doesn’t start as soon as the bus is delivered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Just now, 8000 said: Source is the head office. It retired because training actually did start today and someone mistaken the brake pedal for the accerlator and it slammed in a pole. Looks like TTC 9003. Its being towed back to NFI in Quebec tonight likely Yea sure nice try your very funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimeTio Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I’ve received dozens of photos of new flyers in production at the Minnesota plant, and most were Brampton units. Lots of unfinished Xcelsiors waiting to be unloaded. 2479 is next to be delivered. XD60s: 2475-2492 XDE40s: 2450-247 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if Brampton Transit is modifying their numbering system slightly by using xx50+ to represent 40 foot hybrid units, as the original 40 foot Züm orders were all XDE40s (same as what's arriving now).

PrimeTio Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 This unit was almost completed. Waiting inspection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZümmyZüm Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Wasn't there a mistake earlier posted where NFI was branding the buses as ZUM units instead of conventional? If brampton didn't update their order sheets and new flyer went by the last XDE files they'd number them as 40' ZUM units. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a factor as this current numbering would conflict with the incoming LFSe+es Guess we will just have to wait and see what they are numbered as upon delivery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramptonTransitFan84 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 The first XDE40 has arrived at Sandalwood garage. Numbered 2401, again coming from my co-worker there With this it's safe to say the numbering for the XDE40's will be 2401-2422 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
