WEGO branded units 5301-5305 (40' LFX) will receive a "refreshment" consisting of exterior body work, new livery decals, interior flooring and seating replacement, and minor mechanical work.

Niagara Falls 1396-1397 (40' LFS) will receive a full refurbishment consisting of the same "refreshment" items as 5301-5305 but in addition receive major mechanical work such as engine and transmission replacement, axle/suspension work, alternator replacement, and other tasks. The full scope of work for each subfleet can be found at https://niagarafalls.ca/pdf/tenders/2200/appendix-f-price-form.pdf Tender closes on October 20 and there is a clause stating that the bidder must be within 150km driving distance from the NFT garage, that the buses must be driven and any bidders farther than this will not be considered. https://niagarafalls.ca/pdf/tenders/2200/rfp22-2022-refresh-refurbishment-of-transit-buses-nova-40-60-.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seeing Niagara still having theirs in service made me question it. I guess TTC got rid of the 7400s for other reasons like funding. Niagara being smaller wasn't why I questioned it.

Toro Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 TTC got rid of their EGR VIIs because the ministry warned TTC about their emission issues and that was also the time when our lfs diesels were brand new and still being delivered so they decided it would be easier to retire them all and replace them with more novas On 1/31/2023 at 10:31 AM, Articulated said: https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Niagara_Falls_Transit I don't believe those numbers are accurate, retirements have been happening fairly quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That what I was questioning. Unless the info and spec is wrong. I thought the S50 was no longer longer available after 2005. I'm seeing 2007 models with S50 engines in Niagara.

Most likely have had engine replacements. HSR is doing the same thing with the older units. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they were either part of a committed order or just added by mistake. With Niagara's system and not being as busy as the TTC. They would have spent the time working on them proper. I do notice smaller systems take great pride in taking care of their fleets compared to the much larger sized fleets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But TTC S50 also had a design flaw from the manufacturer, so it had nothing to do with pride or maintenance. I believe Detroit Diesel paid out TTC untill the 10 year mark, when at that point TTC was told of emission issues. Seeing Niagara with S50 engine still running, my only guess is they had a better product from Detroit engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
