Newflyer3 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 1046 on the 705 AGAIN today. I'm pretty much riding it everyday. I'll post some pictures. Not a very good picture because my cell phone camera is bad in low light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 1046 was running the 741 this afternoon. Saw it heading up Centre Street near 16th Ave with a bunch of other school tripper Fishbowls from Crescent Heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 1046 was running the 741 this afternoon. Saw it heading up Centre Street near 16th Ave with a bunch of other school tripper Fishbowls from Crescent Heights. I just got home and went to post that I saw it leave Spring Gardens, but I didnt know what route it was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 The 2 Spring Gardens keys of the 93 seem to have been quite the magnet for rare buses, first 7001 a couple of weeks ago, and now 1046!!! My first time seeing it since November 2011, and first time riding it in revenue service. Thanks to the great driver for allowing me to take these pictures at the end of their shift at 69th Street Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlo86 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nice work! I really like that 1st shot with the station head in the background! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsgeek540 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 So if 1046 is a 93 Coach Hill, isn't he in the wrong spot then ?..given the 93 Westbrook is right behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However maybe it was his last run, when I did it in 7001 I didn't bother pulling around to the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bay is also longer and has room for 2 buses, while the 93N bay only has room for 1 (and there was a Northbound 93 there already). Guess it turned out since it makes for a nice shot with the station behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long since happened now and I do not know if 1046 showed up or not. I am kind of doubting it otherwise there would have been some posts somewhere about it.

That's what I heard too but I've watched all of season 1 (set in 2006) and I'm nearly done season 2 (set in 1979) and the only Fishbowl I've seen is this one, which makes several appearances in season 2: Season 3 is supposed to be set in 2010-2011, I guess it could show up but that seems unlikely.

Nick B Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi all, Bumping this thread to let everyone know that a 2021 fantrip with our preserved #1046 is being tentatively planned for the weekend of March 19-21, 2021. Unlike past charters in Calgary, this will be a half day/night charter, most likely beginning at 5 PM local time and ending at 11 PM, allowing for some interesting photo ops. We've verified with CT that the bus is available for chartering and we have a gameplan in mind for if the pandemic is still a major issue by then. The thing that we will need right now however is some feedback from everyone on whether to plan the charter for the Friday (March 19) or the Saturday (March 20). This decision is a challenge for a number of reasons, the most prominent reason being that we've been told there are plans to move storage of the bus from Spring Gardens to the Stoney facility which does not operate on weekends. Therefore, (assuming this move happens by then) chartering the bus on the Saturday night would raise the cost of the charter for all attendees as we'd have to cover a $200 flat fee to get it ferried to SG the night before. Conversely, chartering it on the Friday night would make us less likely to have a volunteer driver available, plus I would assume there'd be less people available to join us on a Friday night in general, unless I am about to be proven wrong on that by all your guys' feedback. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts! Route suggestions are welcome too. I'll post a dedicated thread with more info along with a more formal announcement as we get closer to the date. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
