Especially when that section isn't raised and sometimes used as a turnaround point for emergency vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Studios Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 As per the newest board period (coinciding with the opening of Major Mac West Terminal), they have introduced some new paddles/blocks. Below are two of the newer blocks. Route 25/1/16 interline and route 16/14 interline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more specifically a York Region vehicle, and because York Region has 9 municipalities, they need to appear in parades in all 9 municipalities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XE40 units are also affixed with a e beside their unit number. Like e2201 to indicate it is an electric bus to North Division. 2206 to 2240 is blocked off for the XD40 conventional bus order. 2240 to 2264 is blocked off for the XD60 conventional bus order. Viva buses on the other hand, last few batches started at around xx70 or xx71. First two xx beside the number is the year. 26 are coming requiring enough room to avoid overflow into the 23xx section if more units are planned for next year.

You have to remember that the XD40 and XE40 share the same design, but have a different energy source. A mistake can happen very easily between the two if someone isn't paying attention to what they are working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it may be moreso for dispatchers etc to easily decipher an electric bus from a diesel bus than a driver or mechanic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
