I can't be sure but I've heard Winnipeg Transit goes and gets them when they arrive in the city. I think that implies they're coming on the train from Calgary. (If they were coming by truck the truck would drop them off at FRG, right?) Has anyone heard anything more substantial than a rumour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine if they used a low boy trailer, yes, they'd drop them at FRG. Could be that they are using a simple flat bed trailer and so they end up getting unloaded where ever there is a ramp.

M. Parsons Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Indeed, not a lo-boy trailer, so chances are the buses are offloaded via a ramp and then Winnipeg Transit collects them from that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience friend; I'm sure someone will post about them in this thread when they are spotted on the road. Sigh, I'm thinking this thread might need a bit of a cleanup... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 A friend reports that #7553 is on it's way to Winnipeg. It was spotted in Medicine Hat earlier today on a flat bed truck trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the lower peak bus requirements of Spring and Summer I would expect there's no particular rush to get them on the road before September. Assuming U-Pass in in place for the start of the University term, this September might be a recent record for peak bus requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wt_enthusiast_photos Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 That's what I was saying to my bus driver friend. That they just might enter service in September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. i think it means that its next in line to get refurbushed to enter service as it has no destination sign or wpg transit markings. it does have its wpg fleet number on a sheet of paper taped to the windshield. so i can assume it will get new paint wpg decals and signs.
