aemoreira81 Posted January 19, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2013 Now - January 18, 2013 Then - December 29, 2011 In addition to the nose panel having been replaced, the front doors on 230 have also been replaced and they are now single-pane. The Then is unique, but I actually prefer the Now because the small MTA logo that far down without a stripe above it seemed odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Posted January 19, 2013 Share #3 Posted January 19, 2013 Had they moved the logo on the front a bit up to where it is now, a white front on 230 would have looked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciboii22 Posted January 19, 2013 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2013 Yup this was done between August, November. She was out since August, they sent it back to New Flyer. They even replaced the MTA New York City Bus logo in the back, they replaced the silver poles inside to yellow poles. Now she's a plain jane like the rest of them in the fleet.

RailBus63 Posted January 19, 2013 Share #5 Posted January 19, 2013 Looks so much better. That white front was so bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted January 19, 2013 Had they moved the logo on the front a bit up to where it is now, a white front on 230 would have looked great! Or if it had been a giant MTA logo on the front (as is the case on the O7s and D60HFs with no stripe on the front), that would have been good too. BTW, 230 is still unique for now: it is either the only or 1 of only 2 C40LFs (depending on if 185 has cameras) with the license plate on the stripe and onboard cameras.

SevenEleven Posted January 19, 2013 Share #11 Posted January 19, 2013 Had they moved the logo on the front a bit up to where it is now, a white front on 230 would have looked great! That logo needed to be bigger if anything. Or if it had been a giant MTA logo on the front (as is the case on the O7s and D60HFs with no stripe on the front), that would have been good too. BTW, 230 is still unique for now: it is either the only or 1 of only 2 C40LFs (depending on if 185 has cameras) with the license plate on the stripe and onboard cameras. Nope, only way 230 is unique is the amount of engines it went through ... already. That and however they managed to get the brakes sounding like that. Some of CP's 500s are fitted or getting prepped to be fitted with cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted January 21, 2013 Share #12 Posted January 21, 2013 I like the new 230 a lot! I think 230 is the only 2xx series to have the license plate on the stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
