All of the Invero coaches will be gone by the next shakeup (later this month), so the new buses will probably be in service then.

One of the C40LFs (190) is wrapped in ST colors now. I don't know if any other PT coaches (other than any remaining 8000s) have gotten ST livery wrap.

That would be the test DE60LF bus. It was damaged by fire awhile ago and never returned to service.

From what was mentioned in a Facebook group, most (if not all) of the XDE40s will end up at North Base. IIRC, they were originally going to get Orion VIIs.

I was looking at the site in Google Maps and saw a GMC Newlook at the entrance to the site. No obvious clues as to who previously operated it.

Some of the 3700s were on RapidRide duty this evening. 3708, 3721 and 3734 were on the E line and 3735 was on the C line.

8261. 1252 is a XE40.

I read somewhere (possibly in the Northwest Bus Fans group on Facebook) that some of the CT maintained ST artics were transferred to King County Metro (some new ST double deckers have gone into service recently). I'm guessing the 'C' hasn't been changed to a 'K' yet.
