Thomasw Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Is Translink planning on refurbishing the rest of the D60LFs or will they retire them earlier than the other refurbished D60LFs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D60LF's would have been refurbed 8-10 years ago. All of them have been rebuilt around that time. At this point, they will all be retired pretty soon, as their replacements arrive.

They will slowly trickle out over the next 3 to 5 years until they are all retired from revenue service. There are still a few that have not been touched for example: R8008 R8010 P8012 R8018 P8050 B8080 P8093 Correct me if I am wrong, but these busses have not been rebuilt or refurbished other than a little body work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marriott Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I would be very surprised to see any D60LF's remain in service by this time next year; there are enough artics on order for this year to replace all the remaining ones and then some, and there is another order for expansion artics for next year. At this point the D60LF's have been so heavily used and are so worn out that there is no point in trying to prolong their lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando737 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Those might end up being retired sooner than others. Not sure if it's the same, but the last time I drove 8010 at STC, it was the best I had driven. On the note of buses not refurbished, there are a handful of Orion's that haven't been touched either and they will probably be the first to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look through this thread, you'd probably find posts about those D60LF's undergoing refurbishment.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a visitor to Vancouver, I was extremely impressed by the condition of the buses in Vancouver. I remember riding 8010 a few days ago and was also impressed by how it ran for it's age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
