First Student Canada


School Bus 101

Recommended Posts

Yesterday while I was in Strathmore I found two former First Student buses for sale at an Auction. Here are some shots of former #1363:

At the Main Yards, I found 2818 by the body shop with some damage to it's front. Does anyone know what happened to it? Also parked by the body shop was 3229. I also saw 1251 in the North Yards. I tried to get an image but I was too late. Also spotted was 1511, which is different from the rest of the 15xx Corbeils. 1511 has a roof hatch, while the others don't. 2809, 2889 were also spotted.

Also, 2821 was in the exact same spot as 3352 is in the image from this post. It is also in the exact same condition as 3352 is in the image in the link below:

Is 2818 repairable? Or does this mean it might get retired? 2821 was right behind it, so they could use parts from it to fix 2818...

I do not know if it is repairable or not. Sorry.

Anything else interesting in the Main Yards? There was quite a bit of movement there yesterday so things might be different there today.

I didn't see anything out of the ordinary that caught my eyes...

Wow! I love that picture of 3295! Does it always park there? Also, did you get a picture of the other side of it (door side) by any chance? 3295 is a very good bus. I remember riding it a couple of years ago. Do you mind if I replace the current image of 3295 with this one on the Wiki?

On a side note, I found 2987 parked by Edgemont today.

Actually, I already replaced the image of 3295 with the new shot. Sorry, I don't have another view of 3295. It does not normally park there. Normally 3020 is parked there during the midday on weekdays, but the other day 3270 was there and now today 3295 is there.

I also saw 2720, 2558, and 1535 parked near 68th St. north of McKnight Blvd at some school of some sort.

In Coral Springs? All these sightings are making me want to go there but I live nowhere near there. I have been trying to find 2720 and 2558 for awhile now. This is the only image I have of 2720.

Anyway, that makes sense since I saw 3020 as a replacement for 3336 on Wednesday in the NW.

I guess that is Coral Springs, but I am not sure... I don't know that part of the city very well.

May I add your image of 2558 (http://www.flickr.co...in/photostream/) to the Wiki? Is there an image of 1535 and 2720 from this location?

Also, awhile back, you stated that some buses park in Conrich, Alberta in this post: http://www.cptdb.ca/index.php?showtopic=14373&view=findpost&p=572057. Do they still park there? I am planning on going there in May but I would like to clarify this.

I drove by there last weekend and it appears the no longer park in Conrich.

Actually, 2558 cannot be added as it does not meet the Wiki photograph standards due to the small pole blocking the bus. Also, for my images, I will add them myself. I did not photograph 1535 as lighting was not good at the time and there was road kill right in front of 2720 that I did not want in my photo so I left that one out too.

Also, I found ex-First Student Canada #2249 parked on a farm west of Sundre, Alberta earlier today: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vehicle-images/8692051168/
