Pictured above is the newest member of the Alexander Dennis 'facelift' Enviro500 for Vancouver Translink. Vancouver Translink (Operated by Coast Mountain Bus Company) has ordered an additonal 25 units of Athe ADL 'facelift' Enviro500, however due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as global shipping and logistics shortage, these buses were not delivered until the end of 2021. Meanwhile, an issue was discovered during delivery where water was leaking into the interior and this resulted in a further delay resulting in the buses not being accepted until June 2022. The first unit, 21401, entered service on 23 September 2022 on route 351 towards White Rock Centre and it is seen here at South Surrey Park & Ride after completing the journey along Highway 99. My thanks to Bill Wong for providing the above update and photograph.
As a trial, I have increased the size of the larger 'clickable' image, linked to the above images, to a width of 2048 pixels as opposed to the usual 1600 pixels - if this causes a problem, please let me know! 28th

Whilst on the subject of a Kowloon Motor Bus Neoplan Centroliner, here is something a little different! I am sure this model looks familiar but having searched my site I cannot find any mention of it. It features AP6 on route 296C with a destination of Sheung Tak, the same details as carried by the first champagne liveried release of this Drumwell model (DW10101). If you are able to provide any information, please e-mail me. 13th
