Charter Bus Lines of British Columbia


BCT-3122-D800-10240

Recommended Posts

I wonder when that video was shot? FWIW I'm pretty sure the narrator of the video of the video is Jim Hart a former anchor for BCTV who has his own video production company. Hart did the video that was part of the airporter bid back in 93/94.

Well the two H3-45's at the end of the video are 2007's. There is one lady shown who I know no longer works there. Add to that, the driver shown picking up at the Boston Pizza is the driver who died in that accident outside of Merritt in 2008. I would hazard a guess that this was shot sometime late summer of 2007.

Check this out folks. This is Ex-CBL 821. I had to walk right up to her to track down the number. She is parked at the Huskey truck stop in Merritt these days. I'm not too sure, but if my surmise is correct (Based on a conversation with the owner a couple of months ago) She is probably now a part of the Nicola Valley Bus and Charter fleet. There are no legals on her except the GVW and passenger capacity at the moment. This was my assigned bus in 2006.

Nice catch! The body still looks to be in decent shape from what I can see in your image!

And for the vin catchers, here's a vin that I got off of CBL #903 some time ago: 2PCH33493W1012421

Here is ex-CBL 806, first spotted by another Calgary member yesterday. It is in Calgary for the Mac's Midget Hockey Torunament. Now operarted by Posse Charter of Princeton, BC.

Yep! That's the exact same coach I saw the day before. The right side panel at the front axle reminded me that it is the same coach. Glad you found it and got a better look at it.

I caught this shot of a BRAND NEW 947 in Sorrento BC yesterday on her way to her new home. Looks like Wayne isn't tructing Prevost with the delivery anymore. There is actually a CBL driver at the wheel.

1) Yes it is a brand new H345.

2) Mentioning names on this site is a violation of posting rules.

3) Trust has nothing to do with the delivery. Quit speculating.

So 5 went to the "new company", 1 to BCIT, and 1 to Beaver Bus Lines in Manitoba?

Got a chance to take a sneak inside the CBL yard and got video. I was with a former CBL driver who has his own company that is working with CBL. The general operations manager gave us the green light to be in the yard in the video i noticed an orion V in the yard with transit style config, anyone know why its there? I also saw some of the 2011 H3's as well as some XL's kicking around. The yard was empty since i was there at around noon.
