niatrans10 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have found out that the buses will be coming the livery applied, and they are supposed to be orange along the top, but that's all I can say for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niatrans10 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 this morning I thought I saw an LFS Artic sitting at the NPC garage in Chippawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nautilus Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 36 & 72 are both gone. There are no longer any Classics on NFT property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 the tow operator hauling 36 away told me two Classics are at fire station 1 on Morrison Street ( 35 and 37) and the other two went out to station 5 on Sodom Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I've been informed the Novas will finally start showing up 1-2 per day starting the week of March 26, and also the next Orion to be delivered will arrive around the same time although they(Orion) want to use it for the OTE , so it likely won't hit the city roads until mid-April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 one of the new Novas have arrived and is at the garage. it is white with orange and has some sort of BRT roof styling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 one of the new Novas have arrived and is at the garage. it is white with orange and has some sort of BRT roof styling Most likely the same as new york's LFSA's. Is NPC changing their livery then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 only a front shot and doesnt really show much.....here it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andru Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks for the picture. So far it looks like a peculiar combination of options: standard bumper and single headlights (possibly LED though) but full BRT roofline. I wonder if it will be called LFX or LFS Artic? The livery seems promising too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimon8000 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Should be LFX if they have frameless windows, quite dissappointed with the new scheme without any decals at the front, or just waiting for more 'color' to be applied?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andru Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm afraid that flush glazing does not a LFX make! It's really not clear what does. A marketing gimmick for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova has frameless windows available for all models.. Not just the LFX. The only thing I can see is, as mentioned above, the BRT roofline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BRT roofline featured on Halifax Metro Transit LFS artic as well.........I really have no clue what's the main difference between a LFX and LFS artic....

That's because there is no difference. The two use the same structure, and the same set of options. They just arbitrarily call it one or the other.

niatrans10 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 two of the 40-footers are out in the lot, and 2679, 2062 and 2063 have been moved outside as well, presumably to make room inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that there had been "regular" units that used that particular headlight cluster though? And as for the wheel covers.......uhhh, should they really derive a new model solely on them?

2044 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 All you can really go by is what is branded on the rear. Since the debut of the LFX, it's clear its options are available on all other models. For what it's worth, the press release calls these Niagara buses "LFX".
