BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 While at the Main Yard today, I found this bus: Nice! I saw two Hinton white and black units at their yard about a week or so ago. I was unable to see any fleet numbers on either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
School Bus 101 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 How many buses park in Conrich, Alberta? I am planning on going there soon and would like to know. Specific bus numbers (ex. 1737) would be great! Also, has anyone been able to get a photo of 2741 or 2743? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Forgot to post these from a week or two ago... Chevrolet Corbeil cutaway #132322, Thomas C2 #'s 131651. There are other new C2's, that I cannot see the fleet numbers on. They appear to be 72 passenger body units unlike the 1307xx series that were spotted last year when they were new. It is a GMC CV200. Here is an image: I forgot about that bus.... Thanks. 132277 in the Main Yard. Yes. I've seen as low as 132270 and as high as 132277. Any others that have not been listed!?

School Bus 101 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Did the C2's have tinted windows? Where are they located? As for the 2013 Thomas EF's, I have seen 132271, 132272, 132274, 132275, and 132277. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School Bus 101 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have a question about that little fenced in yard near the Charter office. What's it's purpose? 2822 and 1654 have been there since October of 2011, while 1744 was there for about 2 weeks but is now in another part of the North yard (where all the other buses park). Also, a bus that I see regularly in my community appeared in this fenced-in lot about 2 weeks ago, and now the driver that drives that bus has been receiving various replacement buses. Also, how are buses assigned to routes/drivers apart from the number of children on the route? Are they assigned based on experience, trust, etc? Where do replacement buses come from? For instance, if bus # 2815 breaks down, and the route it services receives #1669 as a replacement, what bus is covering 1669's route, and where does this bus come from?

School Bus 101 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Beautiful images! I can't stop looking at them. What month were these images taken and where were they taken (North Pointe?) Any more images from this visit? I noticed 2245 in the background of 2175.

School Bus 101 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 It appears that a new bus has appeared in Calgary that I have never seen before. Has anyone seen 2746 or know where it is based? The numbers on the rear emergency exit door are similar to 2822. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
School Bus 101 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Looking at the Wiki, I am currently looking to improve the image for the following numbering series: 1103 1531-1535 1536-1542 1545-1550 1591-1599 1662 1703/1704 1729 1902-1907 2110-2119 (divide in half maybe?) ex. 2110-2115, 2115-2119 2391 2551 2595 2600 2810 3292 110178 So if anyone has a fairly new image of some of the buses listed above, please do post it. I will check to see if I have any good images of these buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yesterday morning while traveling northbound to Red Deer on Highway #2 from Calgary, I spotted #'s 2635, 2632, 2637 all heading north just as I was arriving in the Red Deer city limits. Later on that afternoon, I got a text from a friend that #2632 was on the hook of a tow truck heading south towards Calgary north of Red Deer! Guess that one didn't make it to where it was supposed to be going to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
School Bus 101 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 2632! What is it? I wonder where they are going? Also, a while back, I found 2398 in the North Yard: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School Bus 101 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Looks like they got new license plates. I have never seen a license plate starting with a K. Also, 2637 still has it's Strathcona Tweedsmuire route letter on the back, so I am not sure if this move is permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not be a surprise if the tweedsmuire route sign number was not removed before this bus is moved to another place. That is common. BUt yes, I forgot to note that I noticed that the plates looked to be very fresh in these images.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
