Changes to the Pacific Stages Lines, Pacific Northwest Bus Company and Diversified Transportation CPTDB Wiki pages


Recommended Posts

Hello,  In doing some rearch as a result of a picture that was posted on Facebook, I along with a couple of others have determined that there is an error on several of your wiki pages in regards to a certain MCI bus.  

It starts with your entry for Pacific Stage Lines bus 6328.  It is listed as part of the 6319-6328 collection as being an MC-3.  After much research and studying of other photos of MC-3 buses, Brian Grams, known expert on Canadian MCIs, and who in fact actually drove this very coach when it was  sold to Diversified was contacted.  Brian verified that this coach (6328) was indeed an MC-4 and more specifically it was the very first MC4 built.  (The other coaches, 6319 - 6327 are very much MC-3 as listed)

This coach is also referenced on your Pacific Northwest Bus Company Wiki  fleet number 604 and is also listed as an MC-3 here.

Finally on your Diversified Transportation Wiki this coach has fleet number 172(2nd) and is shown as an MC-3

In addition to Brian Grams confirmation, I have also found this coach listed on an MCI build list and it is shown to be an MC-4 there as well.

With all this information, I am very confident that this coach is indeed an MC-4 (and not an MC-3).

I am wondering if it is possible for these corrections to be made on all 3 above mentioned wikis to indicate the coach as being an MC-4.

I very much enjoy your various wiki pages (especially for Canada Coach Lines, Hamilton, btw), and use the information I find in many posts I make.  

(EDIT:  I had just sent this as a message to the contact page before I noted that this was probably the better way to go about this.  Sorry)

Thanks again for your time,

Douglas Predmore

Hi Douglas, thank you for noticing the discrepancy and reaching out. Can I confirm with you that the serial number listed for Pacific Stage Lines 6328 is correct (705), and therefore it would be the first unit in the next order with PSL 6329-6336?

Thank you.   I have copied the line for this coach from the builder list, which I believe shows this coach to be serial number 705.   328 was the original as shipped fleet number assigned to 6328:

 

Pacific Stage Lines               328-336    MY63  MC-4               705-713        Vancouver         BC

I hope this is the information you are requesting.

Thanks for the info. This will be a complicated series of moves involving multiple pages, so I will see how much I can get done tonight. And of course, like any well-intentioned task, finding one small issue has turned up multiple other issues requiring an even larger series of edits :P
