EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
1952 Twin FLP-40 #401-408

The Twin Coach FLP-40 was a lengthened version of their shorter coaches. ETS ordered the first 8 of these buses, serial numbers 1-8 with the FTC 210 210HP propane engine. These buses were not a great success, as Twin had just taken a shorter coach and lengthened it to 40'. Because of structural problems, all of these buses were retired between 1963 and 1967. They were a good parts source though, and when they were stripped of parts they were sold as scrap.

403 N/A ETS #403 is seen leaving Westwood Garage. I do believe that this photo was taken around 1966, meaning this bus had only a very short time left in service.
