canuck600 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwolf Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

translink fan Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Is unit 941 one of the new H3's? I got a video of her today with the new rear and front end caps and she had a volvo D13. EDIT: checked the wiki and she is a 2011 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBL-H345 Driver Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 All RTS have been sold. 5 remaining sold to the "New" bus company based in Merritt. "Charter Bus Line of Canada" "South Okanagan Charter Bus Line". Regardless of name, their fleet is mostly ex-CBL equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwolf Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Brand new H3-45 950 was westbound at Three Valley Gap this afternoon. I would have captured a photo were I not driving the other way when I saw her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

translink fan Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 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.
