I advise we all stop with the meaningless comments and move on. If I may ask a question that is (mostly) related to special sightings, I saw a D40LFR (don't remember the number) near Burnaby Mountain a week or so back. I'm guessing it was just for training purposes, but why would a bus from STC need to go all the way out there? Is it to train new drivers how to handle inclines?

Yes, that would count as a special sighting. Maintenance or not, you never really see a D40LFR on Burnaby mountain. Burnaby mountain is handy due to its location, and is ideal for maintenance tests. I remember when 7493 had its maintenance tests at metrotown when it was being refurbished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCW Metrobus Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Here's a special sighting. MCW Metrobus tells you guys to take your arguments elsewhere or you're ALL getting two weeks in the CPTDB doghouse. (It's ok. Banned member "Promagstyle" has been squatting there for close to 12 years now. I heard that he renovated it to include a coach house for short-term tenants only.) 2 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingPig Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Orion 9241 was seen on the 143 or 145 this morning. It only did one trip and I can't find it on T-Comm, but I swear I saw it go up the hill when I was at the Terry Fox Track. Couldn't get a picture fast enough. And also, speaking of PTC, 8112 hasn't been in service in a very long time. 8043 is back to service this afternoon. And 8028/8057 seems dead to me.

I actually think it could have been any white Orion doing a maintenance run up Burnaby Mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming it was a replacement vehicle (since a C40LFR on a 701 could hardly be called rare), are you implying there was only one bus to take care of the entire train's passengers? 1 hour ago, TechSpotlight said: H19303 seen on Marine Way and Boundary Rd “NIS” with no licence plates and with packing material inside.

On another note, 8102 is on 77/701 right now, and that block seems to include the 9pm trip to Mission City. Is this common? Is there that much demand on the evening 701s? I remember my only trip from Mission was on 3351, on the 10:37am departure around 2 years ago. Even then, the bus was close to full seated load, and I guess two years later there would be a lot more.
