davemackey Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share #226 Posted November 2, 2020 VINs have now been confirmed for the first 85 buses of the order, through 20885. I am thinking that the 25 option buses might be 2021 models. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 85 would be more than enough to put an end to the existing Neoplan fleet, the rest would just be for fleet expansion + artic conversion (like the 1, 126, etc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume these are also going to Fairview, no? Also per FB, the 1 and weekday 70 are now running with articulated buses on certain runs. I saw 2 on the 1 this morning.....The 1 have been running those and the old ones lately... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways yes, since last week lots of XD60s on the 1 (saw 5 on mybus now at one point 🤩) and they've been appearing on the 70 on weekdays too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - Hilton's have all left, and I talked to the guy at Big Tree recently and he said all of theirs have left too. Almost all Neoplans tracking now are on the Fairview routes like 156/158/159. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the 25 order is 2021 models will they go back to numbers like 21801 or continue thru 21910 like we thought it would end at 20910 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted December 4, 2020 Share #250 Posted December 4, 2020 One of the New Flyers is receiving a new transmission and/or trailer. They aint even that old yet to be breaking down 🤣 Also, has anyone else noticed that some Xcelsiors are better built then others? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
