On Wednesday of last week (19 September 2007) both SkyTrain and
suburban transit users to Scottsdale / South Surrey / White Rock were
inconvenienced by a temporary disruption due to a computer problem on
SkyTrain's Expo Line in Surrey, effecting the line to/from Edmonds
Stn., and a closure of Hwy. 99 near Hwy. 10 / Ladner Trunk Road during
the same afternoon rush. I happened to be aboard a MkII trainset just
before Gateway Stn. northbound that came to an emergency stop before

On the way home by way of the #640 from Scott Rd. Stn. I was surprised
to notice Orion Vs as 300-series 'Express Coach' services to
Scotsdale / South Surrey / White Rock travelling in the other direction
along River Rd. By the time we got as far as Hwy. 99 it was apparent
that something was amiss and the radio confirmed the closure of Hwy. 99
due to an accident near Hwy. 10 / Ladner Trunk Rd., Hwy. 99 being open
only northbound by that time. Seeing the opportunity to capture a
fairly rare sight, I stepped off the bus on Hwy. 10 / Ladner Trunk Rd.
at Hwy. 17 to get these images...

I especially felt for those poor folks crammed abord an old school
D40LF as a #351.
