Brando737 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've heard that there is a good possibility that we could get another 25 new artics either by the end of this year or early next year. I've also heard that STC could be getting a handful of XD40's by the end of the year along with RTC. Sent from my SM-T817W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcelsior Bus Fan Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 8086 and 8101 are no longer at OTC. Other artics including 8055 are still there. Any idea if 8086 and 8101 have been sold or if they were scrapped with the D40LF's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCanGo Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I just checked ABC Recycling in Burnaby (where the D40LFs went); I saw no transit vehicles. They were probably sent to another scrap facility. I recall a few D60's were scrapped somewhere in the Port Kells area while the rest were loaded onto barges to be sent off to Washington St to be scrapped.

That was Amix (near the Pattullo bridge), but that happened in the fall of 2010. Everything since then has gone to ABC, including our D40LFs. The only exception to this were our C40s, which ended up on Mitchell Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be odd it they only scrapped 8086 and 8101 of all the retired antics that are at OTC. I assume most likely that they were sold to another operator as it would be odd that 8055 wasn't scrapped the other antics were scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a valid assessment, but I'm a bit skeptical about the possibility of a sale occurring this soon following their retirement. Further, R8055 may be kept as physical evidence from the accident (mere speculation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Bus Fan Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 From what I saw today at OTC, new additions would be 8007, 8009, 8035, 8090, and 8092. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Wow the first bus I took on the 096 is now retired.. And as 3 more units head to OTC today, I want to point out the following: 1) There are only 4 more D60LF at STC 2) 8002, 8006, and 8010 are some of the 1998s to be kept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Van Fan Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 i just recently rode 8002 on the 43 last Wednesday to work. Anyway, now that 8002's retired, the only buses left in the sweep scheme are 8010, 8029 and 8053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlow1331 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Doubt that this will help, but i think I may have seen 8056 at BTC earlier tonight. However, I'm doubting myself thinking it could have been 8052... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando737 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Just pulled into STC for the end of my shift and there doesn't seem to be a D60LF on the property anywhere and none in service in Surrey. Â I think it's safe to say that STC's entire artic fleet is now XDE60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Van Fan Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 As a result of that, we might as well keep an eye on 8010, 8029 and 8093 as the 'sweeper scheme artics' are going to be extinct soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where 8070 is? 8070 has been transferred back to RTC. Last day of service at BTC was Apr 28th. Was missing for some time though so quite possible it was at overhaul and was sent to RTC shortly after overhaul. Was doing route 49 today. http://tcomm.bustrainferry.com/mobile/bus?busId=8070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
