Welcome!

Welcome to TransferPoint's Blogger website. Here we will post information about transit fleet, provide construction updates to areas we venture often, and any possible charters we might do in the near future.

York Region Transit 311-335

Manufacturer: New Flyer Industries
Model: D40LF
Engine: Cummins ISL
Transmission: Voith D864.3

311-335 were delivered in 2003, and were part of the first heavy-duty, full-size bus order for YRT.

Divisions
311-335: Can-Ar

History
Originally the series was delivered scattered between divisions:
Can-Ar: 311, 314, 318, 320, 322, 324, 326, 328, 329, 332, 333, 335
Miller: 312, 313, 315, 316, 317, 319, 321, 323, 325, 327, 330, 331, 334
312 and 313 were based out of Markham, all other Miller buses were out of Richmond Hill.

During 2004 there was a sharp increase in demand on route 85, and 333 and 335 were transferred over to Miller Division.

This series was eventually concentrated at Can-Ar in April 2006, when operation of routes 88 and 91 were transferred from Miller to Can-Ar.

Being the oldest D40LFs, this series has begun to be repainted.
333 - October 2007
330 - June 2008
320 - November 2008

Recommended Sightings: 88, 91, 99
Can-Ar has all of the series, and these 3 routes are all based out of Finch and (in the case of 91 and 99) are accessible, although typically 88 only runs with D40LFs. Spend 10 minutes at Finch and you should see at least one.
