Vehicles missing from historic British Columbia rosters

[John M. Day]

Add:

BCER Victoria   616 - 618  1944 Yellow Coach TG 3608   s/n 0183-0185

Vancouver Island Coach Lines   116-118  1944 Yellow Coach TG 3608 s/n 0150-0152    Data for these vehicles is already entered but they do not show on the consolidated roster at https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Vancouver_Island_Coach_Lines 

This fills in holes in both rosters.   Data per delivery lists on OMOT.org.    There is a photograph of VICL 117 attributed to Peter Cox although I suspect it should read "Peter Cox collection".

Hi John, both sets of 1944 TG-3608 buses you listed are already contained on the roster pages:

• BCER 616-618 are displayed as 16-18; as indicated in the notes they were "Not renumbered into 600 series as listed on many rosters", so there is a gap between 615 and 619 as a result, but that would have matched the actual fleet at the time.
• VICL 116-118 are listed in the "Transit Buses" portion of the roster further down the page, rather than the "Highway Buses" where most of the VICL fleet is. They were also renumbered as 201-203 (2nd) one year after delivery, which has now been added to the table.
