When are they expected to be delivered? The artics are supposed to arrive in late July/early August. They will receive priority over the 42 Novas to get ready for service first. It is hoped that at least some will be ready to enter service in September. As for the rest of the Fall changes, they will not be released for a few weeks. The drivers have the right to be the first to know and the schedules have not been presented to them yet. Once the drivers start signing for their work, then the details will be released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A photo of one in production was put up in the drivers lounge today. Theres a few (unknown amount just told a few) that have been moved to the New Flyer plant in Minnesota for final assembly. Before anyone asks, no i do not have photos, and dont know the fleet numbers of the units. They were posted on this board back in May... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonka Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Probably the first time an HSR and TTC bus have been beside each other in assembly at New Flyer in a long time. I had no idea they were receiving so many, guess I'll have to head over to the wiki to reacquaint myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got photos of both 0714 and 0716 this afternoon. 0714s photo was at Stone Chruch and Upper Sherman, and 0716 is on John Street just at the bottom of the Jolley Cut. Was 0714 repainted?

I’m not saying you’re wrong in any way, it’s just something I noticed. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was most likely a partial repaint, instead of a full repaint. I do not know the numbers offhand of the 0700s that had this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore_518203 Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 The decommissioning of the artics has started. Bus 929 has had farebox, Presto readers and bike rack removed. The licence plate has also been removed which is usually the final indicator that the bus is retired. The first of the new artics (2350 series) should be in some time this week. EDIT Bus 930 is the second artic decommissioned. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonka Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 I'm definitely happy to see the DE60LEFR's get replaced with more XN60's. The 1400's have held up much better than the 900's did in the same amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashore_518203 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 The latest two artics to be decommissioned are 928 and 931. Interestingly, this will be the second retirement of a bus numbered 931 and occurs 23 years after the first retirement. Bus 931, the first, a GMC T6H-5307N was retired in April 2000. HSR has had a few duplicate numbers over the years with the most recent being Novas 2204-2208. The numbers were previously assigned to ex-Canada Coach Lines MCI Classics. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I know it's been 16/17 years with the first DE60LFRs, but with the LRT in a few years, maybe a livery refresh to match the scheme, whatever it is for the LRVs. Just a thought I had.

Articulated Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Just now, hamilton.area.transit said: I said the INTEROR should be the same. Thag says notning about the EXTERIOR The post you replied to indicated they were looking for door-side pics. That indicates they're inquiring about the exterior. You apparently replied that the interior was the same, without indicating it was the interior you were speaking to. Also, saying the interior is "the same" but with different seats implies the interior is actually different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
