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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually am starting to think its not retired though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step 2: Find a new alternator Step 3: Install the new alternator Sounds like 3356 is stuck on step 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UprisingCanadian Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 8116 confirmed done. Likely due to excessive amounts of mold. Still no update on 8103, and 8117 is not visible on BTC property. (yes i know i posted this in the 2007 lfr thread but whatever) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
