RandomRailfan151 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Just thought I'd mention this, for 100in1 day London (Saturday June 3rd), LTC will be selling unlimited ride $5 passes which they began selling on May 17th. Yesterday I went to their downtown office to pick up one for myself, and surprisingly, I was the only one who had purchased one so far. Here is what the pass looks like for those who want to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yrt1000 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Here's a strange sighting- 32 on route 24 today. There was one person on it when it pulled in to Westmount mall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilkuro Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Most likely used for or will be used on another route at some point. That is unless the 24 is wildly popular now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newest batch of XD40s is now being numbered 501 and up, so far 506 is the highest one delivered. Drove by friday looks like a bunch are there now at least 10.

Aztek985 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 All except 525-527 and whatever they decide to number the new artic have arrived now. 501 was on the road today for the first time. On a side note ... 426 is now sold to the Delaware Speedway and will be crushed by a monster truck in a few weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahrp24 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 It appears that 426 didn't actually get crushed in the end.. Here it is after the event still standing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newflyerinvero Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Didn't realize that those things started to retire. Although I knew they would, but that was the only reference thus far of a noted retirement to that series of buses. Are all of those 2004 D40LFs retiring this year?

Aztek985 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Up to 512 in service. Only 2004s left on the road are 452, 456, 459, 461, 463 and 464. Some other buses done too but cant remember them all ... I know 467, 471 and 473 are done and I think 482. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yrt1000 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Oh man that's too bad they're retiring. Like I said before, the engines really roar on them. Nothing like that anymore, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Has the 2017 XD60 entered service? I'm planning on heading up there to get some LTC artic shots within the next couple weeks and I'm hoping to cross some off my list. I'm missing the 2012 D60LFRs and all XD60s.

Best place to find it (and other XD60s) would be on routes 29, 33. Sometimes you can find them on route 6, 13, and 90 as those routes over the past few weeks have been getting 1 artic each day. For the LFRs, you’d most likely find them on routes 27 and 102/106. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCI Classic Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Route 27 Runs 1, 2, 3 are supposed to have articulated buses assigned out of Highbury. Route 102 Run 2 & 3 are supposed to have articulated buses assigned out of Highbury. Route 106 Run 9 & 10 are supposed to have articulated buses assigned out of Highbury. Route 29 Runs 1, 2, 3 are supposed to have articulated buses assigned out of Wonderland. Route 33 Run 1 and 2 are supposed to have articulated buses assigned out of Wonderland. Route 91 Run 13 and 14 are supposed to have articulated buses assigned out of Wonderland. Also 13 Run 1 out of Wonderland seems to get a articulated bus. Also 6 Run 3 out of Wonderland seems to get a articulated bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztek985 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Also to further that ... all the XD60s are out of Wonderland only, including 34. The D60LFs and D60LFRs are all at Highbury garage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newflyerinvero Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Has the City of London released bus purchase information for the London Transit Commission for next year? I ask as the current Metrolinx Transit Purchase Initiative was optioned for another year for Nova Bus. Any chance if they look at Nova for the first time in their history, or staying with New Flyer even if it means that the prices may be higher per bus?

Wouldn’t be surprising because all those Wonderland artic runs are out weekdays for nearly the entire day. 28-34 are allocated to Wonderland garage, and there are 7 runs each day that are “supposed” to have artics assigned to them, and one run each on routes 6 and 13 that have been getting an artic for nearly a month. I’ve also been seeing one on the 17 run out that’s of Wonderland recently. So...9 or 10 runs for 7 buses, plus the fact there are really no spares could explain why there are fewer out. Also, don’t expect to see many out next week since it’s Reading Week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
