Either training or Castleton is getting new buses, if the ladder is happening, be prepared for 2015 LFS buses to be transferred to Yukon.

Or maybe they decided to give Castleton a small fleet of New buses gonna be an interesting development

Or maybe they want all drivers on the island to be qualified on all different buses in case of a loan.

 

Only Yukon is scheduled to receive this batch of Nova's.  There is nothing to suggest that has changed.  1 bus does not make a fleet.  If CAST gets more, then we have something to discuss.

They have 3 buses as of now. But i'm guessing they want the training to be done quicker since you can train more drivers with 3 buses instead of 1.

CAS apparently has to do driver training on their new buses...because of a different driver-side mirror. There is no convex mirror on the driver side, unlike earlier LFS rigid orders.

It's more than just that mirror. Lots of changes between the models.
