translink fan Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 So today i noticed this Ex CBL Orion II (according to a friend who drove the airporter for CBL) sitting in a side street in richmond. It's now a camper i guess, saw a bed in there. And apparently the owner wants to sell it.

Prevost Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hey CBL-H345 Driver, do you know if there is a Chinese/Asian travel company that charters one (or more) of CBLBC's new Prevost H3-45 units? The reason why I am asking is because I saw one this morning around 7:30am driving into Lansdowne Mall to pick up passengers and usually only Chinese tour agencies have pickup at this particular location.

Prevost Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Spotted 2013 style Prevost H3-45 unit #5202 (plain white) making a right turn onto 41st avenue from Cambie Street (southbound). Also, as per my previous post, does anyone out there know if any Asian/Chinese travel agencies are chartering CBLBC's new 2013 Prevosts? Or whether any of these units possibly subcontracted by Prevost? There was one time I saw a CBLBC Prevost H3-45 (not the newest one) in one of the boarding places for Chinese tours (behind Esso gas station on Kingsway across from Crystall Mall).

Behind the Esso station beside the Crystal Mall in Burnaby is a great place to park if you are holding for a pickup/drop off at Metrotown. Any group hiring a bus can ask for a pick up at any mall; regardless if they are asian or not. Without more information I can not say and will not speculate who was or was not being picked up (maybe the driver was shopping?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my main questions is, being that you work for CBL, whether CBL buses are being chartered by Asian/Chinese travel agencies. If you can advise, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

If you can advise, that would be great. Thanks in advance. Sometimes Work/trips are farmed out to CBL from other bus companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

323 Surrey Ctrl Stn Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Spotted an all white restyled H3-45 downtown today, coach number 5203, all it had was Charter Bus Lines of BC legals on the side. I'd normally post a photo but it takes a few days to get slide film processed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBL-H345 Driver Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 A few of the white H3-45s have stripes now (old news, but not reported) Only one of the 3 2013 H345s has had decal stripes applied. 5203. 5202 is still white. 5201 still in Tauck wrap.

airwolf Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I saw all three of them yesterday, along with 825 and one other, the number of which has somehow escaped me. All were headed North on I-5 just south of Bellingham WA. 5203 looks pretty sharp in her new stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck600 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 CBL 805, 812, 820. 822 911, 912, 913, & 914 along with Quick 1602 appear to have the fleet since the new year, is this a move to make way for more new coaches?, replace cash reserves after buying Barry Key's shares or just a random circumstance that 9 coaches have sold in a few short months?

CBL-H345 Driver Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 802,5,11,20 and 22 are still on property in various forms. All coaches you have listed are 17 years old or older. Everything is for sale and VTT equipment of that vintange is very well maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
