Wow, wierd.

There's gonna be 45 Nova artics and then two odd ball New Flyers.

How? Metro Transit has over 150 New Flyer D40LF's currently in it's fleet so parts standardization isn't going to really be an issue, apart from the hybrid system.

I would say that qualifies as "oddball"

Oh, I'd say, Oddballs of the fleet definitly.

Ratio 2:45 is quite a difference. You won't see the DE60LFRs too often

6 *NEW* Photos of the 2 DE60LFRs here in Halifax.

Great photos. Does anyone know how long the MCI/Nova artics have?

It was also reported that 701 and 711 are gone too, witch brings the total to 4 classic artics retired.

[hfx_chris]

I still strongly believe the remainder have a few good years left to them. I was expecting a couple to be retired for parts.
But who knows.

There are 6 on the road right now the rest are off either waiting to be repaired or retired.

No kidding I didn't see one in Halifax on the day I was there for one day.

Bad luck!

I have a few sets on my Flickr Photostreem dedicated for the Articulated Classic. Both 92' MCI and 93' NovaBus.
