Based on the wording of your reply, it sure sounds that way. All he said was that his source had differing information and gave the as-then reported fleet numbers. You're getting all worked up and passive-aggressive over that? Nobody should be made to feel like they have to walk around like they're on eggshells over something so minor.

JRM1000 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just a few questions. Is the plan to have a fleet of all Nova CNG for the 40-footers? How common are the shared parts between the LFS and the D40LF and XD40’s? Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashore_518203 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 2206, 2208 and 2215 all just arrived 5 minutes ago. EDIT: 2216 arrived at 4:00 PM on Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusDriver91 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Bus 0610 has been scrapped. I’m not sure about 0615 but I’m sure it’s not far behind. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore_518203 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Bus 2216 was delivered yesterday. A photo of it is attached. Hopefully, the blue stripe near the driver's side headlight gets added prior to it entering service. As of noon today, buses 2201-2213, 2215 and 2216 have been delivered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what ive saw (only saw a couple units), they had the full blue stripe. It is the only one that I have noticed so far and is probably a one off. It is similar to 1702 being delivered without a front fleet number back in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with the lights. Ill post the link below. https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/transport-canada-recall-2022696-nova-bus Okay, so one, it doesn't effect the HSR. phew! Two, what the hell? Why do they do this now? There has been no issues for 9 years? Three, so all these lights will be white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rangers and AVL equipment is the only item left to install on the first of the 2200s. However, Bell is the contractor for the AVL equipment and they seem to be on their own timetable. I have not heard any timeline for Bell to show up on the property to start to install the Rangers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 8 hours ago, hamilton.area.transit said: Yea i know Bell is our contractor. You'd think HSR would make a appointment before they get delivered so they can get them on the road asap like theyre needed Or they will show up after they have been delivered. They still need to get their plates, insurance and inspection before they can go on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do most of our Novas fareboxes crash, bang, etc when going over bumps when Burlingtons dont (they use the same farebox as us)? Also, is there a update on when the 2201-2231 series will start to enter service? Cause it's Hamilton.... our roads are worse and the suspension cant deal with it. The fare boxes are also just physically older and in poorer condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLRV4094 Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Hamilton Posts Bid Documents for New HSR Bus Barn | TPR Hamilton | Hamilton's Civic Affairs News Site (thepublicrecord.ca) Some information on the new garage that will be built on Wentworth, it's planned to be complete by late 2024 and it will be located next to the old Wentworth Garage.

Wonka Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 I hope the new garage will allow the HSR to eventually make some serious service enhancements through fuel, labor and time savings from not having to deadhead to/from the mountain garage. Will also be nice to see the fleet expanded over the next few decades. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
