So far there has been at least one other WTF this week when Spruce Grove Transit 6901 made it onto an ETS block running route 109 yesterday afternoon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Turns out 2011, 2012, and 2016 have all done big bus runs this week as well. Seems there was a para transit bus on standby duty out in Mitchell-Land this week on at least a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaintrolley Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 6002 A Hybrid. Pimped out because Transit Manager (at the time) Charles Stolte may have been trying to impress someone. I'm sure someone here will elaborate on the details. https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Edmonton_Transit_System_6001-6002 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only missing details are that it was pimped out in 2008. It wasn't necessarily done for the 100th Anniversary of ETS, but it was unveiled at the ETS event in November 2008. It then basically didn't see service. It was for show and tell and eventually on some charters. Finally, it was tossed back into regular service where it has remained running similar runs as the other hybrids. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Dunlop Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 What's the deal with 4912 artic? Hasn't been reported on Transit55 for over 3 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 2066 lurking outside DLM in the North yard. 6001 alive and well. The same can't be said for the Orion hybrids. They are most likely retired, with none on the road for a month now. Time will tell I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Looks like 2066 is being worked on and brakes cranked off. Wheels look chained up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think ETS will sell the Orions to another agency or just scrap them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would want them?????????? Regardless, it's unconfirmed at this point. It's entirely possible (although, frankly, doubtful I think) that they're going through mid-life refurbishment which the LFR's of the same age are starting to go through.

I heard something about the rear displays being different but despite being out and about all day today I hadn't really paid attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it was one of those buses with no route, just a destination like "Clareview" or "Northgate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
