EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
New
Flyer 2007 E40LFR #6000On June 19, 2007 at
about 12:30 ETS took delivery
of Translink 2007 E40LFR #2242 for a 1 year test period as mandated by City
Council. For the hell of it, I'm including this in the regular trolleybus
section as this is a rather long term test. This bus was renumbered to 6000 by
ETS shortly after arrival. #6000's last day at Paterson before service was
June 27th. The bus was at Westwood by June 28th, and is believed to have made
it's first run under Edmonton wire on June 29th. The bus ventured out onto the
system again on June 30th, operating along the route 5. Starting at Westwood,
the bus head east on 118 Ave to Coliseum, and then followed route 5 wire out to
Westmount.
#6000 entered service on September 4, 2007 at 11:30 from Coliseum Station. The
bus had not been booked out on run 5-07 as it was supposed to have been, and,
instead 179 was dispatched. This was later corrected with 6000 essentially being
a change over for 179. This occurred the next day as well, however, this time it
was because apparently the CBC was using the bus for a live show. 121 was the
bus assigned to 5-07 this morning, and subsequently changed over for 6000.
