History
Order/Specifications
These units were delivered in Summer 2011, and were placed into service in September 2011, shortly after the previous order. All models are 45 feet in length, initially with seating for 57 individuals. All coaches of this series are equipped with wheelchair lifts and have two wheelchair positions through seat adjustment. The seats located in the wheelchair positions had lettering indicating so stitched into the seat. Select seats also have a 110 volt power outlet located at the baseboard.
A number of new features to GO debuted in this order, which include a redesigned dashboard, Fainsa seating, Axion destination signs, and new Cummins engines. These coaches are also the first EPA2010-compliant coaches in GO Transit's fleet.
The coaches were delivered with 57 seats. In an effort to expedite wheelchair loading, the row of seats beside the wheelchair access door was removed in 2013, lowering the seating capacity to 55. This row of seats had to slide forward on a track to make space for the wheelchair, however in past experience the track would frequently become clogged with debris and inhibit motion.
Refurbishment
In 2018, the buses in this series were refurbished and repainted into the new two-tone scheme. This was done as part of a two-year refurbishment contract.
