Rumour has it that the driver of the private vehicle suffered a cardiac arrest, thereby resulting in the collision; they did not survive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a SUV crossed the centre line where the impact occurred. Driver in the SUV had to have CPR performed at the scene. MVA just took place a few mins after 4pm this afternoon. So is it a write off? Or will they fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormscape Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Based on the pictures it'll be a long rebuild, but not bad enough to scrap it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translink69 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 8085 lost most of its power halfway up Gaglardi today around 5:05 and shook quite a bit as it managed to crawl up the mountain. Overheard the driver saying the check engine ligt came on right before it all happened. It's supposed to be running until 1am so if you have time it might be worth checking out.

Last seen at around 5:30, for some reason briefly was on a different block? Definitely not going until 1, which makes sense if the engine was having trouble...

Looks as if the damage was serious enough to take 7234 out of service? We'll find out in the next few days if this is the end for 7234? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what could have happened to the body structure though. The end may or may not be near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDOOM Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Through service at Lougheed has been messed up all night. The only SkyTrain service from there is to Lafarge Lake; there's shuttle buses to Braid and Production Way. (Just switch the platform arrangement now! This is ridiculous!)

I guess the damage didn't go through the body panel and into the body structure or did but was easy to repair. I guess it just went out of service for the necessary repairs.

Good to see it patched up rather then being retired! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperman Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 7234 is back in service. The body damage has been repaired, and it will return for paint later. This is one of our "Spotted Dogs". Buses get the repairs to make them safe, then they return for paint at a later date. It's all about making service. The customer experience is important, and actually having a bus for service is of higher importance than looks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil is nice to see that you guys in maintenance didn't just decide to retire it because of the damage it received! Normally with a bus that age & a majority of them retired it could've of been retired. Great job on who's decision it was to return it back to service again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw a glimpse as I was driving the 43 and parked on Joyce st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover5949 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Spotted 7288 on a 301 which looks like fresh primer all down the left bottom quarter panel. Nice to see that they are making a effort to fix any damage then instantly retiring them because of body damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had some fresh paint when it was at STC before it transferred to HTC in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the bike rack appeared to be mangled. Will Tranlink take the opportunity to rebuild/refurbish it or will they fix the bus and send it back on the road for an other couple of years before rebuilding/refurbishing it???

If there's no damage to the body of the bus or it's integrity anywhere, they will probably just leave it as it is. Even if there is just some minor cosmetic damage, they will probably just do a patch and send it out. They are also busy doing the LFR's and LFS's right now so the artics might be a few more years for overhaul. After the LFR'S and LFS's are done they will probably move onto the D60LFR'S that came in 2006 then the DE60LFR's after as they are 2009's.

Express691 Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Waterfront station (Expo) is closed. Someone was hit by a train pulling in. From time of posting until 9:30pm trains will have run full length to Burrard, though IDK if they will even be doing the Stadium Turnbacks (maintenance) tonight due to the incident. 8120 seems to have been pulled from 95 B-Line to act as a shuttle from Waterfront and Burrard (even though most people can just deflect to the Canada Line to Granville Station). At around 8:35pm there was an announcement for a closure at Columbia Station (which was eventually overturned 5 minutes later; it turned out to be a mistake).
