Bus1883 Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 #6710 was randomly awoke earlier today at around 11:00. They’re probably draining the fluids on this bus or something but idk why was it on. @YoungBusLovershould know if he’s available.

In 2022 #6838, #6847 and #6875 were reported in the boneyard officially retired in May which is a sign the end is getting closer and closer day by day.

pudgym29 Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) I was very close to typing "It's Over" (and referring in lyrics from Boz Scaggs). But it's not over. Buses 6843, 6859, 6865, 6869, and 6870 are operating today [7 July 2022]. ? I'll spare you the Lenny Kravitz lyrics. ? Edited July 7, 2022 by pudgym29 A 5th bus went into service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
