I got a chance to look at the Date of Manufacture on some of the new arrivals and most if not all of the #8700s were completed before March, As #8711 was completed in February 2024. So that leads me to believe the #8800's are not too far behind as far as getting delivered. Now the #8900's are a mystery but I'll assume that they were completed by at least Late April into early May, it's just a matter of getting them delivered now.

Seems like CTA is Nova's biggest remaining order and Nova has to push them out if they are trying to shut down the Plattsburgh plant by the end of Q1 2025. Assuming calender year that would be June but fiscal year might be February or March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcement was "bus operations in the Plattsburgh facility are planned to continue until the first quarter of 2025." That's March. On @YoungBusLover's point, I don't know how long it takes to deliver after assembly, but he seems to be rushing the assembly a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the remaining fleet units as a whole are about 75% - 80% complete from the production line. It's just a matter of getting them delivered by the end of the year going into 2025. It should take at least another 3 - 6 months before all is said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
