BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Peter, you might like to see this! Had it pass by me this afternoon, managed to get a good iPhone shot surprisingly: WOW! So at least one exists in the active fleet still. Nice find and thanks. Do you have pictures of #271 in Calgary by any chance? I do, but I am not sure where it is. They are not digital images.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armorand Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 302 on Route 25 this afternoon, the paint on it is chipped away pretty badly, exposing the steel. The 800s will probably send this one out of the fleet first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 800s will probably send this one out of the fleet first... Amazing any are left with so many new buses in the past couple of years. After the 800s, I presume the only high floors left will be 370s and 670s, unless maybe some Classics are in better shape than remaining 1994 D40s?

armorand Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Lately, they've been looking worse and worse. wouldn't bet on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinguni Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 312 and 329 are definitely retired (replaced by 800's). No driver will miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armorand Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 312's always been the one that was being elusive on me. 329 though, I got a YouTube video of it, along with some photos in September back when I could transit spot more than just Polo Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatcoinz Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Do you have pictures of #271 in Calgary by any chance? Classics: 301, 310, 329, 332 seen so far this year. 310 active tonight on Route 78, 329 active last week on Route 24. Sadly with both of my jobs, transit spotting is getting harder to do for me, but I always make sure to look out for the rarities! With the 800s coming in though, these ones are going to disappear for-sure by March. here's a link on 271. http://www.barp.ca/preserved/0271/index.html. I've seen the bus in the past but it's been gone for awhile. It's either it's in the Red Deer Alberta with some of the other Former CPC fleet or it's gone to the scrap yard.

armorand Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Rode 310, Route 24, on Fridays PM rush hour. Got this pic, and a video will be made eventually, because I got video of me getting off the bus and it taking off down Ness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either it's in the Red Deer Alberta with some of the other Former CPC fleet or it's gone to the scrap yard. 271 was hauled away to scrap from where it was residing for several years in Calgary within the past few months.

Greatcoinz Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 271 was hauled away to scrap from where it was residing for several years in Calgary within the past few months. How sad. A 1960 TDH-5301 Fishbowl Gone for scrap. But apparently it was in really poor condition. Just curious what happened to #331. Saw it beside Barlow Trail for several months but one day dissapeared.

Greatcoinz Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 331 as in Calgary Fishbowl, or Winnipeg MCI Classic? It's a Former Edmonton Fishbowl #946 renumbered to 331 . It's the last fishbowl of CPC fleet. It's dissapeared recently. We suspect it went to a scrapyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armorand Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Awe.. Sad to see that. Seems someone managed to snag a rollsign or few before it was sent off to scrap. Still sad though. Yikes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armorand Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 So its still here?! Nice, I transitfanned like crazy the past few days, and I havent seen any of those or even 373. Keep on running into the 1994 D40LFs though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yesterday I did see 992 on the 66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armorand Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I managed to get pictures of 992 on layover at Polo Park, had to wait 5-10 minutes though. The driver was on a smoke break and keeping an eye towards me, so I waited for him to go back onto the bus before I went to get pictures. Got a few, not the best but it'll suffice. Gonna upload them eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
