#7308 was recently in the Hillcrest deadline after a fire last summer. So any word of the cause, condition, and route served on? I assume it is retired.

@SilverPlaqueVII: The whole rear of 7308 is gutted out. The cause is the battery inside the bus, It was last seen on rt 66 Prince Edward.

#7308 can be considered retired. I checked the Feb 12 service summary and that bus was delisted from the parking sheet at Queensway. So now, there are 50 remain.

All New Flyer D40LF will be retired by 2016

look on CPTDB wiki

and ttc2353, this doesn't sound like a DE40LF's axles in Victoria, even with the same axles for some reason. ima calling someone to complain :D

hey do the TTC's D40LFs have MAN axles or ArvinMeritor axles? Because of the back wheel difference between ours and YRT's i think its an Meritor axle.
