If you count the ones that haven't been in service for over a month then Half a dozen if not its 4 7426, 7436, 7443, 7445 Does 7417 and 7438 count?

I updated the wiki the other day and whatever hasn't seen service in sometime I listed it as unknown status. It's up in the air whether those units are still around , scrapped up into pop cans or with the training fleet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion6784 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think it's safe to assume that all D40LFs other than 7426/38/43/45 are retired. Just waiting on confirmation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, 7438 is a VTC spare. I was talking about the Detroit powered D40LFs and the ones that have not seen any service since September/October.

Community Shuttle Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Drove by RTC today and couldn't see 7112 anywhere from Steveston Hwy. Only a few Orions remained in the dead tracks where it was parked. Could have been moved (within RTC or to another TC); otherwise removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

another one bites the dust Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 3 fit for service D40LF’s are said to be at VTC, including 7438 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleowin Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Are they keeping some D40LF's as spares moving forward? Seems like every new bus is now in service, so that's good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
