Description |
| 1994 D40LF #902- Strathcona County Transit's first low floor bus was an ex New Flyer demonstrator bus (#9401). Originally powered by a Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engine and a ZF 4HP500 transmission, it was later repowered to a Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine and Allison B400R5 transmission. In late 2004 - early 2005 this bus was rebuilt and emerged in the XL-II paint scheme. For most of it's career it featured a flip dot sign, but by 2009 it seems to have been replaced with a smaller LED sign, perhaps out of a New Look or other retired bus. It its later years, after the delivery of many Nova LFS buses, this bus primarily covered local and school service in Sherwood Park. By 2010-2011, it was retired from service and sold at auction. | |||

| 1995 D40LF #903- Strathcona County Transit's second low floor bus was a lone New Flyer D40LF acquired in 1995. Based on serial number data, this bus was built in between two other single-bus orders: Medicine Hat Transit #770, and Brandon Transit #45. These three buses all share similar specs, implying that they were ordered as a group. In late 2004 - early 2005 this bus was rebuilt and emerged in the XL-II paint scheme. It its later years, after the delivery of many Nova LFS buses, this bus primarily covered local and school service in Sherwood Park. By 2011-2012, it was retired from service. | |||
