I noticed they haven't got many new school buses lately either. I think the newest I've seen is a 2015 C2 As mentioned a few posts above yours, Coach Canada has both 2016 Prevost H3-45 (in Safeway livery) and 2016 MCI J4500 (in Coach Canada livery).

A number of Coach Canada buses have been wrapped (not painted) for the World Cup of Hockey. 85003 did not originally have a red background - that Safeway livery only began with the 88xxx series. And if you take a closer look at the photo, you can very clearly see white in the gaps between body panels that the wrap doesn't cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev161 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Saw a Coach Canada J4500 off loading at Ottawa Station mid day on Friday 21st of October , its destination sign read OTTAWA , then saw the same coach deadheading back to Toronto empty when I was driving down to Toronto that evening.

Megabus Rider Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Spoke with a friend at Coach Canada, its the 85xxx series up for sale. They said that series actually drives like new, well maintained! So far, Belca Tours & Coach has at least bought 1 unit, not sure which unit was bought or how many was bought. I assume Belca is buying these unit(s) for the Angel Tours Casino Rama Contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulated Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Coach Canada has some new acquisitions. Found 67807 today, it's a new-style J4500. To me it seems like it was transferred up from a Coach USA property. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they would have put it in a Safeway livery instead of just taking off some of the livery stripes and renumbering it. If the (new) fleet number is the last 5 digits of the VIN (which is Coach USA's numbering scheme), it would be a 2016 unit, matching the 94000s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Weird, Unit #s for Safeway can't have "4" in them. lol Yes, they have been stripped since Safeway has already put in their order for Graphics with Turbo Images but Coach Canada has taken their own resources (assuming with Team Coach Imaging) to have them renumbered. It will take Turbo Images sometime to produce the Graphics since they have to do it for all contractors. Not to mention installation which is done by a small team from the Mississauga location. You just answered the first question with that last sentence. lol On 4/13/2018 at 8:58 PM, leylandvictory2 said: I though Safeway only wants H3-45 Coach Canada is buying nothing for them!

I'm afraid I don't quite get what you mean by Safeway needing Coach Canada for the Coach USA backbone for their US trips. Can't Safeway just use Attridge, GTA Crew, Great Canadian, or Pacific Western for their US trips? Also, why did Coach Canada decide to suddenly stop buying new coaches for Safeway? I mean Safeway is a large tour operator and if they can pay the money to charter new coaches, then wouldn't Coach Canada want to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
