BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yaxing in service lane at anderson at 1823 tonight for fuel. Spent most of the morning with a training officer. I did see V2012 on the route 81 this evening at around 1820 which is the same time I normally saw it last week, but I didn't see it at Anderson when I was finishing work like I did last week though... Did it break down again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I didn't see the Yaxing yesterday or today at all. Has anyone spotted it Wednesday or Thursday of this week at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsgeek540 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well the trial appears to be complete. The Yaxing sitting in vic park body shop. The CT decals, farebox and fleet numbers all removed. Its bc transit decals are once again visable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1604 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 As far as I know, the V2012 fleet number was an addition sometime after the bus left Langley - 7130 was its fleet number with BC Transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 But weren't the fleet numbers BC Transit too? BC Transit's assigned number was 7130. I believe the V2012 is what Translink put on it while they testeted it since they already had a D40LF numbered 7130 in their fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzldriver Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Last I heard was that 7130 was in Penticton. I did notice that the one in these pics has "Vicinity" in silver lettering across the front. I have a feeling there is more than one bus. 7130 had BC Transit on the front where this one says Vicinity. 7130 spent more time in the yard than on the road when we had it here in Kelowna. http://atu1722.ca/images/vicinity%20bus%201.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Transit was removed from the front at some point and Vicinity replaced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Last I heard was that 7130 was in Penticton. I did notice that the one in these pics has "Vicinity" in silver lettering across the front. I have a feeling there is more than one bus. 7130 had BC Transit on the front where this one says Vicinity. 7130 spent more time in the yard than on the road when we had it here in Kelowna. http://atu1722.ca/im...y%20bus%201.JPG Take a look in the first post of this thread which is directly linked here: http://www.cptdb.ca/index.php?showtopic=15217&view=findpost&p=566717 . I have posted an image showing the builders plate with serial/vin number. Now, match it up with the one that 7130 had. I am sure someone recorded the serial/vin off of that bus when it was running with BC Transit. If it matches, then we have the same bus. If not, then we know there is more than one. But I believe someone already comfirmed that this is the same bus somewhere in this thread or in the BC Transit Yaxing thread.

LRT Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I totally forgot to mention this a few weeks ago.... on Friday September 18th around 1900hrs I spotted a Vicinity Demo bus near Banff Trail station on Banff Trail heading towards Crowchild Trail. Looked like the name "Vicinity" was on the side of the bus in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick B Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 This is amazing news! Nice to see the Vicinity coming back to Calgary. I wonder what these ones are going to look like, whether or not they will possess the actual Calgary Transit livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
