Woodstock Transit 13-16
Woodstock Transit 13-16 were 1976 T6H-4523N buses built by General Motors Diesel Division.
Bus 14 was the last of this series active, which had gained significant attention from enthusiasts and residents alike in recent years as it was not only the oldest bus in revenue service in Canada, but the last active bus that was built at the old GMDD London plant along with the final General Motors New Look in revenue service.
On January 23, 2014, it was announced that Woodstock council approved the purchase of a new Nova Bus LFS with delivery scheduled for later in 2014. This new bus would have retired 14 later in the year after 38 years of faithful service, however 14 suffered a side impact collision on February 14 that was unrepairable, necessitating its retirement ahead of schedule.
