]]> Wed Oct 1 2008 Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Trolley Service in Vancouver http://trans-vancouver.fotopic.net/c1563625.html On August 16th, 2008, the Vancouver transit system marked 60 years of quiet, clean, environmentally friendly trolley bus service. Since 1948, the trolley buses have provided the backbone of local service in the city of Vancouver, and continue to do so to this day despite many other North American cities phasing them out, the latest to do so being the city of Edmonton, which voted on June 18th to scrap its trolley bus system by 2010 following much heated debate over the merits of the vehicles. The celebration consisted of a six-bus procession from the Vancouver Transit Centre to the Stanley Park bus loop, where the buses were then parked and put on display while speeches were given by various dignitaries, including veteran trolley bus operator Angus McIntyre. On hand for the parade were the two restored vintage Brill trolleys, the Flyer E800 "Triesel" ex-trolley bus with diesel power, the recently retired Flyer E901A, and two modern New Flyer low-floor trolleys, one 40-foot example and one articulated. The ceremony was open to the public. In the evening, a more traditional "fan trip" was held using one of the Brills and the Flyer E901A.

P3285 is the first one that has been recommissioned and put into service. These C40LFs were purchased in 1998; however they were put into storage shortly after due to the high-cost that are required to maintain and run them. Recently, Translink is seeking for a more environmental-friendly type of fuel. All 25 Compressed Natural Gas buses will be put into revenue service, with 2 of them as Hydrogen-Compressed Natural Gas.
