THE FINAL * Canada - Old diesels will be crushed after TransLink fails to find a buyer

Scrap heap signals the final destination for more than 100 unwanted buses

Vancouver,BC,Canada -Vancouver Sun, by Kelly Sinoski -October 12, 2010: -- TransLink was forced to sell more than 100 of its old diesel buses to a Surrey scrap yard because nobody else wanted to buy them...   At least 140 transit buses, some of which were used as West Vancouver Blue buses and possibly as extras for the Olympic Games, are being stripped, crushed and stacked three deep at the Amix Salvage and Sales scrap metal recycler near the Pattullo Bridge...   TransLink spokesmen Ken Hardie said the diesel buses were sent to the scrap yard because they had reached the end of their lifespan and no one had come forward to buy them after six to eight months on the market...   Buses tend to have a lifespan of about 17 years. Hardie said the buses are part of a surplus of old transit vehicles, some of which ended up in the Fraser Valley...  (Photograph by Jason Payne, Vancouver Sun: Several former TransLink buses are piled on top of each other in the yard of Amix Salvage and Sales near Pattullo Bridge. At least 140 buses, some of which were used during the Olympic Games, will end up as scrap metal)
