Its hard to see but its top left side R prefix is closer to the ledge and below the orange light. Where did you spot 8056? I was at OTC twice last week and did close up looks and didn't spot it?

Thats where I went down and didn't spot it. I went down the alley by the apartment/townhouse complex and even the other side and didnt spot it. Was hoping that 8056 stayed as 8053 and 8056 was the only remaining RTC D60LFs with the standard vinyl seats. As 8053 and 8056 are both retired we can say that there are no more D60LF's at RTC with the standard vinyl seats. Did 8056 get marked with a big "X" on the front window? Any pictures confirming 8056 at OTC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, I think 8056 is the last of the retirees. Counted 21 buses not including 8049. We don't know what its replacement is. Concluding the 2015 retirees: 8001, 8002, 8004, 8005, 8007, 8009, 8019, 8025, 8027, 8029, 8035, 8053, 8055, 8056, 8058, 8078, 8086, 8090, 8092, 8097, 8101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought 8003 was transferred back to BTC and that 8004 was retired? Wish 8056 stayed. That was an RTC oddball being the only RTC D60LF with the standard vinyl seats. As of now there are no more D60LF's at RTC with the standard vinyl seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 My bad, 8003 should not have been on that list. Hold up, re-counting. Fleet management is so difficult; IDK why im doing it in the first place, but it keeps me occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja Bus Fan Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm not 100% sure if it's the right unit, but in this case it seems most likely. I just went by HTC and spotted what to be a sweep scheme D60LF parked there. With Translink spotting 8053 driving EB on Marine Drive, I'm going to assume that 8053 is at HTC.

Xcelsior Bus Fan Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 What time did you head there today and yesterday and spotted these and where did you have to head to to be able to see them? I went there today at around 7PM, saw and heard them working but spotted no buses there. All I saw was them lift and destroy a car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCanGo Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Crazy, I remember riding those buses when they were new. Actually, one of the first times I rode a D60LF was on a packed bus ...we got stuck for an eternity at Broadway & Arbutus because of a train-car collision.
