STO_1601 Report post Posted December 1 When the ETS D60LFs are all retired that would make St. Albert Transit's D60LFs the oldest artics in the Canada right? Are the 2001 St. Albert D60LFs up for retirement soon too? I doubt the 2006s are retiring any time soon as they are only 13 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of St. Albert’s D60LF’s are already retired according to the wiki, but not all of them. If there are any left when the ETS units retire, then the St. Albert Buses will be the oldest. 5 minutes ago, Nico Sander said: Some of St. Albert’s D60LF’s are already retired according to the wiki, but not all of them.

I’m assuming they’ll outlast ETS #4900-4912 though, but we can’t be too certain. Just a waiting game, I guess 😃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M. Parsons Report post Posted December 1 We figure there's 3 new artics coming for St. Albert based upon the tender award amount and the average cost of a XD60. There's a possibility of an electric artic or two, but, I don't believe that tender was awarded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nonetheless it doesn't surprise me... On a related note (seeing as we are already somewhat off topic hehehe), the wiki also lists those buses as having Detroit Diesel Series 50 EGR's... as far as I know they are just standard S50's no?

Judge by it's sound I say it has an Allison B500R transmission as opposed to the Voith on the D60LFRs. Also I can see that the seats are blue American Vision like OC Transpo's D60LFRs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M. Parsons Report post Posted 8 hours ago 4938 entered service yesterday, rode it this morning. 4906 changed off for 4934. I believe that is the first time an XD has escaped on the midday WW 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
