Thomasw Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 1 minute ago, Brando737 said: In emergency situations such as this event, sometimes emergency personnel will ask Translink for some of thier buses to be used for people affected by said event for a place to sit and relax or simply for a central place for paramedics to tend to people with minor injuries. Spoke to the op of 8140, my relief earlier in the day and he said no one used his bus at all likely because it was a nice sunny day. Ohh ok, thank you for the explanation. I remember reading an old article somewhere a little while ago that said that about three or four Translink buses (D40LFs) were called out to the airport many years ago to act as shelter busses and bring people to the hospital. I am not entirely sure what happened and my mind is a little blurry as to what the article said. I, unfortunately, am not able to find the article. Does anyone know anything about this?

buizelbus Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 An unreliable source (@transit604 on IG) has supplied this photo of 15003, on the 323. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Explains the artic transfers to STC recently (and perhaps for this weekend's events) - you want to lessen the amount of additional drivers needed but at the same time maximize capacity. This and 15009 are involved with Vaisakhi festivities today. I also have a photo of 15021 on special duties at Surrey Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, such information is arbitrary (to an extent) and as such, there can only be a limit to what sightings go on the wiki or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I advise we all stop with the meaningless comments and move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
