EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
1974 Flyer D800 #731-740 r/n 831-840
The 10 Flyer D800 buses ETS received in 1974 were numbered 731-740 when delivered, but were renumbered to 831-840 so that new GM T6H-5307N's could use the numbers 731-740. These buses had the rear spoiler removed, and at that time got repainted. These buses did not last long with ETS, in service only 9 years before being sold to Winnipeg Transit in 1983. Note: Because these buses were renumbered, I have listed them as if by serial number. Example 833 is ahead of 736 because 833 used to be 733.
