I don't know why they worked it that way. Anyhow, most of the buses through 20848 have now been inspected. All those newly inspected buses are heading to Big Tree so they will have 24 buses at least. I imagine Big Tree will be moving some of the lower-mileage Neoplans up to Fairview, or junking them. I'm told that through 20865 has been built, and they're still cranking out 2020 models for now. Is the 25 bus order 20801-20825 or 20803-20827? I think I heard from somewhere that it was the latter because 20801 and 20802 are not part of it as they were built before the additional 25 was decided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share #202 Posted September 23, 2020 20843 failed inspection - a high beam headlight was not working. Should be fixed and on the way to CMF soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share #203 Posted September 24, 2020 20843 passed inspection, and 20849 was inspected today too. 20822 has now gone to Fairview as a training bus, as 20810 seems to be out longterm for repairs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a lot more than Big Tree's number of Neoplans (before Hilton's Neoplan exodus lol). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1train2255railfan Posted October 27, 2020 Share #214 Posted October 27, 2020 20849 is currently running on the 156R. Must be an interesting sight (have XD60s ran on that route before?)

Meadowlands has runs on each of Fairview's lines except the 154. That's a Meadowlands bus. Fairview only has 20810. Their portion of the order will arrive after Meadowlands gets their 25 buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not any more. 20850-20852 just rolled into Fairview and they may also still have 20822. Right now the priority seems to be to get those remaining old Neoplans out of Fairview.

I'm guessing what happened was they had an issue with 20810 and borrowed 20822 for a short time. It's back at Hilton now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
