translink fan Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Looks like Wilson's repainted #7556 from its original American Stages black base to the white with blue CBL style stripes. So fresh! Saw it a couple nights ago and serviced it last night.

Judging from the picture on the Wiki, I'd say Traxx 883 is now Wilson's 8955. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roeco Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Well looks like Wilsons is looking to expand outside the lower mainland by applying to BC PTB to operate 1 daily trip Vancouver to Kelowna and Vancouver to Kamloops plus Vancouver to Whistler. Looks like we may have some competition brewing..! Im very surprised no one has applied for Vancouver-Kamloops-Prince George corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Island Transit Fan Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Hi everyone. Does anyone know what Wilson's Transportation puts on the BC ferries connector from Vancouver to Victoria now? Their website shows pictures of very old H3-45's (those with the pre-2002 front), such as here. https://bcfconnector.com/bc-ferries-connector-schedules/ I'm travelling to Vancouver on the week of Aug 29 and would like to book a ticket on BC ferries connector if I have a good chance at getting one of these old coaches. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
