It's not for you to tell people what to do. It's their life, it's their Christmas. They do what they want with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepperman Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Operators who damage the antlers get coal in their stockings. Three so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Large Cat Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Christmas bus spotted sans antler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperman Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 A new antler was been installed. It was back out around 14:00. Unlike previous years, the reindeer bus was used until New Years Eve. It has had very positive reviews on social media. Unfortunately, we went through four antler incidents this year. The lights, nose, and antlers are coming off, and 9543 will be returned to the herd by the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 I know it's early but there will be new Christmas Buses this year. 9543 will be moved to RTC later this year and WVMT 802 (Last year's bus) is now with CMBC The reindeer shuttle will likely be the same unit, whatever it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 During a tour at VTC last week, Maintenance department said that they don't wanna re-fit another bus to be the reindeer unit, so the *likely* solution is to bring back 9543 for the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Are we seriously going to make one post for each potential reindeer bus? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8010 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Just use one of the 2009 HEVs. Pulling an air conditioned bus out of service during the summer because it's a reindeer bus is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
