#174 turning onto 189st SB from 84ave EB. I believe the bus had recently returned from contract service in Spruce Grove and reentered local service as a spare bus. Based on the condition it was in at the time, I can't imagine it made it out much! Nonetheless, I spotted it in service a few times almost a year later before it was finally retired in late 2009. |

#192 Southbound on 142st at 109ave. Prior to the arrival of this unit, #122 (a 1990-91 Bluebird GMC) was the only full-sized bus equipped with a wheelchair lift. I believe this bus was also the only Freightliner with a manual transmission ever operated by Golden Arrow! |

#197 in use as a Park N' Ride shuttle for an Edmonton Eskimos game. This bus ran under contract in Spruce Grove until early 2011, at which point it was returned and retired. It was also unique in the fact that it had the interior rear painted a nice matte black color (a neat contrast to the minty-green color of the rest of the walls)! |
