Re: All Silverliner Vs out of service due to a structural de

I must admit...it looks fugly. I know the public specifications say they are 12' 6", but that is visibly incorrect. The 12'6" Sprinters are substantially taller than the 12' 8" Amfleets. The 12'6" Sprinters are almost the same height as the 14' Viewliners. The Chargers are at lea...
