First one ive seen that has had a R prefix since they got transferred

12007 is now R12007.

Onto another note, not sure if this is right place or not, but how is the condition of the d40lf’s (specifically the cummins) and the d40lfr’s?

Fair enough, just find there's a lot of 'policing' that goes around on here, but I get it. Rules are rules, anyways.

So you're telling me that despite the fact we live in a free world (well I assume most of us), It's perfectly okay for the forum admins to say 'We wish to only post sightings in this thread, NO DISCUSSIONS as IT Is distracting'? Uh... I don't think so.

This is a forum, nothing wrong with having conversations.

And no units with a/c

T as in training?

Hello, Here is my August 25th, 2017 update for my Fleet utilization summary: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QATxfcSBCNxTo69ScBB5o1OXoG2Vt43TKmfDn0N5h_4/edit#gid=151886761 There will still be Cummins D40LF's left @ RTC unti about 2023, would put them at 20-21 years of age. Based on projections of about 10% service expansion, CMBC will need 1460 buses by 2019, and with most D40LF's retired at that point, there will still be 30 left (13 2000 D40LF, 17 2001 D40LF).

I think it's so common to see XDE60's on a trolley route, why do we still report sightings?

I think he meant D60LFR’s

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QATxfcSBCNxTo69ScBB5o1OXoG2Vt43TKmfDn0N5h_4/edit#gid=0 Updated End of 2017 Fleet Summary based on data collected through this board on bus allocation / route transfers / sightings of buses.

So essentially, HTC is going to be full of D40LF's again after just losing a bunch ?

I guess BTC losing 145 would make sense for increasing service hours on the 130.. however.. where are they gunna get the extra buses? My guess is VTC will transfer a couple more ?

If burnaby wasn't an object.. I'd make the 106 to Edmonds a Trolley route, with VTC serving the 106 portion to EDmonds. Then the split route portion from edmonds to New west would stay conventional diesel. That's really the only route I'd make trolley in Burnaby.
