vicinity Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Firstly I recieved a messege from a fried today saying that 7757 will be out of seervice for a while as at around 5pm tonight the bus slammed into the low bridge by vp where 7954 and 7617 met a similar fate. Seconndly i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about bus maintenance( how long vehicals are out for how they got damageed, break downs etc) seeming as the Edmonton thread has the crispy critters (horribly miss quoted) Any feed back would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must of been out of service heading back to V.P Heard about that, no other reason for the bus to be there except being out of service as it is a VP bus.

Vancouver Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Anyone know what bus this one is, assuming this is a VP unit deadheading into the South for the morning on a Saturday. A large Calgary Transit bus was severely damaged when it caught fire early Saturday morning.The Calgary Fire Department attended the scene at MacLeod Trail just south of Southland Drive S.E. for reports of a bus fire. When they arrived, they found the bus fully engulfed in flame. The fire was quickly extinguished by the crew, but the bus had already suffered extensive damage. The driver was the only one on the bus at the time and no one was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation. http://calgary.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTV...507 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
