Went to PTC today. 3356 is toast. Rear board has been removed. Behind 3356 parked is 3322 and 3312. Might be the end for those two as well. Also saw 3317 and 8103.

Yes, 3356 is comfirmed done.

3322 and 3312 are probably just a long term BO.

But how do you get photos like these? I have a 44x zoom camera maybe I can be able to do something like this.

I have a DSLR. I used my 55-250mm lense.

3356 apparently has the alternator taken out, so it cant even run. I actually am starting to think its not retired though.

Steps of replacing an alternator

Step 1: Remove the alternator...

Step 2: Find a new alternator

Step 3: Install the new alternator

Sounds like 3356 is stuck on step 2.

After over three years off the road (last ran November 30, 2020), 2106 returned to service on the 7 today.

Only lasted not even a 1/4 of a day before being sidelined mechanical

Keep in mind TransLink servers were hacked around this time resulting in no live bus tracking. There's a good possibility 2106 ran into 2021 and put out of service before servers were restored. Either way, this is still a pretty long time for a bus to be off the road.

3322 Is most likely returning to service if not soon. The “hold for” note has been removed, and apparently an op heard that it was cleared of mold. Not sure about 3312. But im seeing more and more buses parked near 3317 and 3356. I even saw an XN40 there yesterday.
