Here's what I took this morning. #600s lined up, #700s lined up and then we have 4 out of the 5 #8350s line up with #7927.

Expand  

Nice shots, look at #7927 tryna fit in tryna look good with its baby replicas?, feels so good to see the two newest equipment on the fence awaiting their time to enter service. The temperature is slated to go down again this week coming up similar to what we’ve went through this passed week, when the warmer weather returns majority of the rest of the #600’s should be ready to swing the bat?

#8350 has appeared to be moved on the western part of the lot facing 79th, from where it has been wondered off from these passed couple of days, since a few more popped up on the fence last week, notice the bottom lid is opened from the mechanics checking on it.

I was wondering that too, if there is like extreme cold temperatures outside. Let’s just say the #600’s are kicking the ball a bit more stronger than the #700’s?

Yea they do but the 700's dont even run that much in the summer if they do they only stay on the 79 just like when I think 701 was at K it only ran on the 7 52 or 126 stay right by the garage

Yeah with them not running too much like they’ve done years prior. I won’t count them as real orders.

On the last, NOVA wouldn't know that. I was going to suggest expanding the picture, but the stuff on the left is too indistinct. The PREVOST US DOT number is visible, so this appears to be a transporter's temporary license plate.

That's just the factory serial numbers.

[YoungBusLover]

Now a little inside source gave me a brief run down of what the 8350s will be equipped with. For starters they'll have a Cummins L9 engine along with a ZF Ecolife transmission. Not sure of what spec of the Ecolife though. Next the seats will be fully plastic inserts that the current #8200s series has which is a major plus in my book. Two digital screens similar to what #8011 has will also be included inside the the bus which is similar to what MTA has with there current LFS models. This next fleet is really going to stand out from the rest of #7900s I'm actually even more intrigued to see the interior of the buses now.

So this means they will be all Blue seats which could be exactly the same as the first 50 #8200’s? That’ll look good in my opinion. could they also come with the red next stop sign that the current fleets have or that’s a no? I will still honestly take these over the #7900’s tho lol

Every new bus order comes with these I believe. Those are serial numberings

Based on what was described to me it appears the seats will be similar to that of the #8200s or maybe something along the lines of what #7900 has or maybe even the #600s. I'm not sure about the second question you're asking though.

What's been shown (at least in the YouTube videos of the 600s) looks similar to what's in the 7000s.

Sorry for the confusion my friend, I was referring the display that shows the red signage, that displays the date and the time that the current buses have that I thought the #8350’s would of come with. Perhaps with the LCD screens installed.

Basically it's the factory serial number with CTA and Prevost Pilot stamped on it. When I head back in after my fallback I'll try to get some clearer photos.

This 8350 is not the same bus as the one delivered last year. Different order number, different work number. 8350 (1st) must have been only a pilot. Is it still on property?

I'd assume it's at 89th and Greenwood or back at the factory. I'll ask around about it though.

You're correct, the #600s are better comparison to gage what they'll look like. One is positioned towards the front while the other one is semi near the back towards the rear door. 

[YoungBusLover]

#8351 and #8364 have been delivered today forgot to mention that as well. I saw #8351 sitting in the garage bays adjacent to where some of the #600s are currently housed collecting dust I might add. #8364 is sitting along the SS fence.

Yeah, your butt slides out of those seats whenever the bus stops. If you sit where there is an open space in front of you, you will end up on the floor. Glad those are not coming up north yet.
