Megabus Rider Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I have confirmed with some sources that Angel has purchased up to 6 or 7 2016 Prevost X3-45s for their newly acquired Casino Rama Line Service. I'd assume with those additions, farmed out runs to Coach Canada and Pacific Western may be reduced, but I am just speculating. I know they have a white H3-45 XOXO and a older X3 HALO, 1 or 2 older H3-45s and a older DL3. If any of you are interested in their schedules to Casino Rama, click here.

Articulated Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Angel has (or used to have) other coaches. As detailed on the Wiki (and I have photos confirming their existence), they had two Prevost H3-45s in a dark purple-ish base and an all-white 102-D3. Last time I saw them was 2014 so not sure if they're still around or doing charters/runs outside the Casino Rama service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megabus Rider Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 yeah, you got work to do on Wiki. There is a white H3 XOXO, a X3 HALO which was purple but now painted in the Angel design featured on the older H3s. Then the white X3s being delivered. I know they have at least 1 older H3 and they still have the D Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Not sure if there is a new arrangement with Pacific Western, but spotted 3 Prevost H3-45's today running Casino Rama runs. One was 3010 which had an Angel Tours logo on the front, and two others (didn't catch the numbers) lost their PW markings and are running plain green.

Since Angel Tours doesn't have enough coaches to run all of the Casino Rama runs required under their contract, they sub-lease to some of the major coach companies in the GTA (namely Can-Ar, Coach Canada, and Pacific Western). 1515 is one of the ones with the partially missing livery (IIRC drivers side only is blank), and I've seen 3010 doing Rama trips too, which used to run on the Airport Express.

Megabus Rider Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Another X3 has been delivered. I am hearing that they are not being numbered but getting names like the previous units XOXO and HALO. The first X3 is named LUNU. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 At least one is already in service. I didn't see the fleet number or word. The fleet word may has some sort of meaning in Asian languages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Spotted a new X3-45 doing Casino Rama trips for Angel Tours this weekend. It had no legals or lettering, but a piece of paper in the front window had a (presumed) fleet name of DIAMOND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 It can also be the run number. I see you took the photos at the good old Alton Towers stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulated Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Spoke with a Coach Canada driver doing a run up to Casino Rama today. Apparently Angel Tours is getting approximately 4 more new coaches delivered. As well, there will no longer be any dedicated Coach Canada runs heading to Casino Rama on behalf of Angel as of the end of the month (likely being replaced by the new coaches).

leylandvictory2 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 from the looks of it, Can-ar no longer runs Casino Rama on behalf of Angel Tours. Belca took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Angel is looking for less expensive (sub-)contractors to do their casino trips, which is why the two companies were removed.
