Wow. They're ordering artics at the same time as their conventional buses? Didn't see that coming!

Yep, they're replacing the majority of the 08 '60s. In the same way the 13 '60s replaced the old 01 '60s, and in that year, we got our 2013 '40 express units. However, it was a smaller order compared to this one. 

...all results of bus shortages and retirements.

And yea 2003 D40LF are staying longer as 2003 d40lf are good enough and hard work. When 2008 D60LFR starts retiring.

I lost something here. The 40' tender was adjusted for 50 NOVA buses starting at 1730. Now the 60' start at 1770? 

There are 49 40' LFS being delivered. 37 of them are being delivered now and numbered in  the 1700's and the remaining 12 won't arrive until later in 2018 so they will likely be numbered in the 1800's. With only 37 40' LFS being delivered right now there is enough room to fit them all into the 1700's.

so how does this NOVA order keep shrinking ... didn't it start at 51 then $ rounding got it to 50, now 49. What is the current number for the NOVA 60-footers?

The current number for the 60' are 1770-1799. 1770, 1771 are the only one here

Excellent pic here of an unknown LFSA unit. Was driving by Central so I thought I’d stop and take a quick one.

It seems to have the same rear doors like the 40ft units (without the bottom window panes).
