At the end of January of 2007, it became apparent that the growing fleet of newly-arriving New Flyer E40LFRs that were gradually replacing the old Flyer E901A trolley buses had a troublesome defect with their power steering system. All the E40LFRs that were thus far active, which totalled 39, needed to be pulled from the road so the defect could be further investigated and corrected, which resulted in a sudden, overnight bus shortage. Alleviating the strain on the transit system caused by the sudden disappearance of 39 buses from the Vancouver depot bookout involving borrowing buses from other Translink garages, reviving old buses that had recently been parked, and - as is the focus of this album - borrowing four buses from BC Transit's small communities, 2 Orion Is from Chilliwack and 2 Orion Vs from Central Fraser Valley.
