Red Deer Transit GM New Looks

Welcome to the Red Deer Transit GM New Looks photo gallery. Red Deer Transit purchased a total of 30 GM New Looks and leased 3. These are mostly T6H-5307N's, except for two 1970 T6H-5305's. The T6H-5307N's range from 1972 to 1980. The lease units are Edmonton Transit System 1974 T6H-5307N's 305 (returned)/308 and 1975 T6H-5307N 343. Red Deer Transit rebuilt 13 T6H-5307N's. In 2008 and 2009 these buses were retired with the exception of one bus, #501. In 2009, the following buses were sold to Regina Transit after being withdrawn from Red Deer: 502 505 507 511 and 515. #510 later returned to service operating as the only GM New Look remaining in 2010, and was finally retired as the last high floor bus in February of 2011. All of Red Deer's New Looks are powered by Detroit Diesel 6V71N engines. Eariler New Looks came with Allison VS-2 transmissions, with Allison V730 transmisions appearing in later ones and the two leased units had Allison VH9's. All 13 rebuilt New Looks have had their roller signs refitted with Balios LED destination signs. The rebuild includes a number of visable changes. Driver's compartments are upgraded, flooring changed, seats changed, LED tail lights intsalled, marker lights changed, exterior door lights changed and a new coat of paint.
