HelloWorld Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 1 thing that the HSR told me a while ago is that the XD40 buses have electric engine cooling systems. Link to post Share on other sites
HelloWorld Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Also, another thing at I found out a little while ago is that the screen that is next to the farebox is manufactured by Trapeze Group. I'll attach an image to show you what I mean. Also, two more things. When I said before about the electric engine cooling system, I mean that all of HSR's Xcelsior buses have it. Also, the articulation joints on HSR's articulated buses is the ATG Artic-O-Mat Limbo II 350. Edited August 13, 2020 by HelloWorld Adding onto this post that I posted.

They do not make the unit itself and buy an off the shelf unit made by another company. Link to post Share on other sites
HelloWorld Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Tonight I saw buses #0813 and #0711 on 4 Bayfront but they turned off of Albright Road instead of going straight down Quigley Road. There are no detours listed on the HSR's website. Link to post Share on other sites

It would not be out of place down there. Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily police were able to get him help and the street reopened around 11pm. Link to post Share on other sites
HelloWorld Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have the service manuals for HSR's New Flyer DE60LFR Buses. If I can, I will post the PDF here. The PDF has both service manuals. Oops. I accidentally posted it without the PDF. I will post it with this post. [Untitled].pdf Link to post Share on other sites

HelloWorld Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Bus_Medic, that's never true. That's the whole PDF. The PDF itself is only 11 pages long. It was sent to me by New Flyer Industries Marketing. Here's two screenshots that I took from a video that I recorded in Downtown Hamilton near the MacNab Transit Terminal. I forget what street it was on, but it was the street that the 4 Bayfront stops on that's the closest to Jackson Square. Some Specifications for the HSR Support vehicle in the screenshots: License Plate: CKRH 276 Fleet Number: 500345 Manufacturer/Model: Nissan Rogue To the Person who Said they were going to edit the CPTDB Wiki article for HSR's Support Vehicles: Can you please edit it to include this vehicle?

What you have from New Flyer Industries Marketing is the spec sheets out of the front of the service manual. That's an 11 page long excerpt giving what the bus's vital statistics are but no service information whatsoever. 1,500 pages plus is about what I'd expect and probably longer if it's a hybrid with multiple propulsion and energy management systems. You'd better call up Flyer and get them to send you the rest of the manual. Link to post Share on other sites

HelloWorld Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Another thing is that when I was taking pictures and videos of bus #1115 yesterday, I noticed something about the yield label on the back of the bus. I'll post a picture to show you what I mean. It was mostly black. Also, Wayside Observer, I can't call New Flyer because of 2 reasons. Reason #1 is that I don't have a phone, and reason #2 is that I don't have any cellular device than can do phone calling. Plus, my school iPad is from HWDSB. They blocked calling.

Heat discolouration. And clearly, you contacted flyer before - but nevermind, those manuals cost a lot more than you could afford, and their charity to foamers only goes so far.

Actually, the iPad from HWDSB might be a help here. Wait about a month until late September and then use the HWDSB iPad to get in touch with Flyer using the communications method you used the first time and ask for the full service manual and say it's for a school project. They might send you some cool swag. They might even send you a safety vest. Link to post Share on other sites
HelloWorld Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Sorry for the bad quality. I took this picture at night. This is the VIN Plate for bus #1710. Link to post Share on other sites
HelloWorld Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 When I was on bus #1808 (the time was close to 3:30 pm), the stop announcement system display displayed this: Annunciator Console Initializing. Please Wait... Link to post Share on other sites
CLRV4094 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 0520 at Lime Ridge a couple weeks back, and 0615 out at Meadowlands in Ancaster today. First time out full day since June for 0615. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Wonka Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I was just wondering the other day if any of the '06 artics are still in active service. Good to know that at least 1 is still kickin around. Link to post Share on other sites
newflyerinvero Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think it's 0610 and 0616. With the 'summer service's for weekdays starting on Tuesday, Setember 8th, would the other '06 D40LFs in the 07 series that are in storage would be brought back? And are there going to be any changes to bus allocation come the start if the new board period? Link to post Share on other sites
HelloWorld Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 newflyerInvero, it's actually buses 0610 and 0615. Bus #0616 was retired in 2016 because of a fire. Link to post Share on other sites

Because the towing company forgot to disable the retarder which caused the seized centre axle to ignite from friction. Link to post Share on other sites
