One of the 14 "Baby Fishbowls", but I can't make out the number. There were 5 TDH3301, 303-307, built September 1970; and 9 TDH3302N, 328-336, built September 1973.  They lasted until the original South LRT line opened May 25, 1981. More in "Calgary Transit Then and Now" by Don Bain, page 39.

The stripe scheme on these looks good. Did any other buses use it or only the 30-foot fishbowls?

Only the 30 foot Fishbowls had this particular scheme AFAIK. A select few of the Brill trolleys also received a unique stripe scheme into the post-1970 CT era but it was a bit different from this one.

Brill 474 in the new paint scheme, one of only 2 that got it.

Got confirmation today that Bus 8084 has been decomissioned following an engine fire at the beginning of October.

Welcome to the board!  However please note that this information was already posted about in the "Damaged and Dead Vehicles" thread back in November 2020, so just double check to make sure the information has not been posted by somebody else before you do.  Thanks!

Strathmore Stampede. Old CT shuttle bus turned into a food truck. Catch our Pride license plate still on front. Owner…had a little too much sun (luckily his wife was driving) and couldnt remember what bus number it was when he bought it. It looked amazing inside!

 

****UPDATE**** No i do not remember what they were selling. I…had much more sun then the owner…all i remember is i dont remember seeing a customer there the whole afternoon.
