School Bus 101 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 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..Also, I see that the buses says "First Canada" instead of First Student Canada.

TheAverageJoe Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Also, I see that the buses says "First Canada" instead of First Student Canada. Also out here in GTA in Ontario some of the newer fleet just says "First Student" with the Canada being dropped on some of the newer fleet.

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Also, I see that the buses says "First Canada" instead of First Student Canada. That's normal for the black and white fleet to have "First Canada" on them instead of First Student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the point of the difference of the "White" and "Yellow" fleet in Calgary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 What the point of the difference of the "White" and "Yellow" fleet in Calgary? The white and black units are used for Charter work as well as the Strathcona Tweedsmeer private school which is out of town and feature high backed reclining seats. I believe there is more info on these units deeper in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Are those mostly the ex Cardinal fleet? All those units that I just posted are. But in small print on the buses in the Calgary fleet, they still say "Owned and Operated by Cardinal Coach Lines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School Bus 101 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Saw 131866 on Stoney Trail in the NW, presumably on it's way to the Main Yard to complete delivery: It appears this unit has air conditioning due to the vents on the side. I also found 2743 at Notre Dame High School, in North Pointe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School Bus 101 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I finally saw 2676 the other day! Where did you see it? Was it a 72 passenger bus? I haven't figured out where it is based. Conrich possibly? Did you get any images of it? I am also looking for where 3028/3336 is based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get any images of it? I am also looking for where 3028/3336 is based. I was driving at the time, so I do not recall where I saw it. I haven't seen ant First buses based in Conrich at all. Also saw 3074 the other day too as well as 3336. 3028 appears to be a spare unit. Normally I see 3020 parked in Erinwoods during the week at a residence, but one day I saw 3028 in the exact same spot that I normally see 3020, so 3020 was probably down for maintenance or something the day I saw 3028.

Yes, I think 3028 is a spare unit. I saw it this week as a replacement for 3336. That's why I am wondering were 3336 usually parks as I want to get a picture of 3028. I don't think 3336 parks at the Main/North Yard as it doesn't have that sign on the rear emergency door. Would you be able to get a picture of 3020 if you get the chance? I am never in that area during school/business hours. These sighting are very useful as I have no idea what buses service NE/SE Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School Bus 101 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 It appears that 2869 has had some work done on it.

Check out the before and after images of the rear: I saw that bus yesterday, but I didn't get to the rear of it, so I didn't notice that. But it looks like they repaired some rusting that was happening below the rear windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I haven't seen any from that series since. So I am not sure if it's been moved to another property somewhere. But it may only be that it's not around where I am these days, so I am just simply not spotting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Found 1142 at North Pointe earlier today... This unit spent quite a few years based in the Airdrie fleet. Hmm... Attachments do not seem to be working properly.
