This was a Great Paint Scheme (BCE), and the late great B.C. Hydro Railway (BCE) had the fantastic yellow paint scheme with red stripe! SW900's climbing the Central Park Line. Thanks.

@48alfaone I agree. The all cream colour & red thunderbird is a classic .

Very neat to hear about how this trolley works

[FlyerE901]

@alexwarrior1 Angus does a great job at explaining how the resistors work

Nope. I don't work TransLink, but I just volunteer for the Transit Museum Society. The old Brills definitely have character. Funny you mention this. Some of the older bus fans recall passengers complaining about these buses in the 1950s when they were new.

@Jsouthwell2006 i agree wit u they should bring back the old translink buses cause i've never been on any of the old ones. only one old one i went on was a red and white one and tht's it but not this bus or any other buses.

[Jsouthwell2006]

@FlyerE901 do you work for translink? if you do i beg you to please get rid of the new buses and bring back all the old ones, i like the old ones

[FlyerE901]

The older ones definitely have character.
