Vancouver Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Too bad all of them are school routes. Nearly a month in Calgary, only TWO Fishbowls on a regular route (142 Panorama) that I've seen, and it was the day of that gas leak on 7th and also not going to the NW. There was also 1046 on the 305 The month, I've seen them on some on the express routes going up Centre Street (62/64/109/142), as those runs still seem to get Fishbowls. Haven't really kept track of which ones are on those runs, but there's definitely been a couple a day, and I remember 1046 was on the 62 the week before we took it out on charter. But definitely not as common as most of the routes with the Fishbowls are getting 7500's and 7600's (especially the 179's and the single 101 run out of SG).

armorand Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Are you sure you remember? I drive the 10 every weekday currently. (Except Holidays) I remember it being around at Dalhousie when I was there now that I think of it. I'm back home though (Winnipeg), so I wont be seeing any more Calgary buses until either 2012 Nova's run down Portage Avenue on their way or I come back!

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 After a check around SG, I found the following Fishbowls now retired and waiting to be prepped for scrapping or already ready to be hauled away for scrap. These are units that I did not have listed as retired for scrap previously: 883, 889, 897, 919, 921, 943, 988, 1060, 1081, 1083. Parked on lane #'s 29-32 were the following Fishbowls ready to go were as follows (34 Fishbowls) : 873, 874, 886, 902, 910, 912, 916, 928, 934, 945, 961, 970, 973, 974, 977, 992, 1002, 1010, 1014, 1043, 1046, 1059, 1065, 1069, 1085, 1089, 1113, 1120, 1121, 1134, 1148, 1151, 1156. Inside the shop for mechanical work was #1099. Parked at north fence possibly waiting for time in the shop were #'s 914, 922, 1094. With those above notes, 34 Fishbowls are ready to go for Monday morning, one is in the shop for mechanical work and 3 more are parked at the north fence possibly waiting for shop time as well. Fishbowls parked around the east wall and south fence: 938, 950, 980, 987, 1001, 1057, 1072, 1077, 1097, 1115, 1130. Missing in action Fishbowls (I am assuming these have been sent off for scrap or have been sold) - 907, 917, 953, 1053, 1063, 1147, 1151, 1154. #'s 1063, 1147, 1151, 1154 are the only ones that surprise me a bit as I last knew these ones as active units, so if anyone have seen these 3 Fishbowls recently, please post your spottings if possible as it would be greatly appreciated. The other 4 were units that had already been parked for some time so I would not be surprised if these have been sent off for scrap. Tracking list in this post: http://www.cptdb.ca/index.php?s=&showt...st&p=513456 has now been updated to my latest notes. If anyone sees any errors, please do let me know either here or via a private message. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One possible mistake I noticed is 1051 is shown on the "active status" but on your post above it is not shown anywhere. Also, you show 1151 as active and missing. Just curious! Cheers!

I believe 1051 is long gone... I don't have it on my list from last Friday when I did my walk around at the garage That would explain why the count of the 1980 GM's being active didn't add up between my two lists! Also, according to my notes from Friday, 1151 is still active. I will fix up the list when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will update the tracking list soon.Also, I found 1063 parked at AG when I went for my signup this morning. I have now edited the Tracking list and with this, I show at least 39 active Fishbowls.
