St. Albert Transit- Orion SLF229

Welcome to the St. Albert Transit Orion SLF229 photo gallery. St. Albert Transit took delivery of 2 Orion SLF229's in late 2003 and early 2004. The SLF model was originally built by Thomas Built Buses; however, with the merger of Thomas, Mercedes Benz and Orion into Damlair Chysler, the buses were marketed under the Orion name badges. The first 2 buses built in 2003 are #858 and #859. These buses are 30 feet in length and are single doored. St. Albert Transit aquired two more SLF229's in 2005, possibly ex-demo units, both buses have two doors, they are numbered 860 and 861. All buses are powered by a Mercedes Benz engine. These four buses operate mainly on local routes but have been seen operating to West Edmonton Mall on Route 205 and even sometimes other commuter routes.
