EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
New Flyer 2007 E40LFR #6000

On 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.
