Express691 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 8077 is dead. That was the last known D60LF to appear on the 160. 8066 and 8089 are also done. 8060, 8064, 8065, 8098 are also done. 8063 remains the last active luggage rack bus. This also means that none of the D60LF that came to Surrey for the opening of the 96 B-Line are remaining in active revenue service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely loved 8065. That was the best of the five luggage buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briguychau Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) I guess RTC will finally stop accidentally putting the luggage racked buses on the 49...

Any bus with luggage racks of any kind is good for that route 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently there are no plans to re-fit some of the XDE60 with luggage racks. I hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used a luggage rack for the first time ever, on a crush loaded nova 601 - I wasnt the only one either. Never thought to use them over many Orion commutes...

Phillip Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Did they retire those buses leaving the luggage rack in? They haven't been equipped with them for long, they should remove the luggage racks and reuse them otherwise it's a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I still think the racks don't relatively cost much to make and install. The effort was already wasted when they decided to put racks on the oldest artics instead of the newer ones.
