jmward Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Spotted bc transit 9734 on blackomb way yesterday, in the classic bc transit scheme. It was signed up as "Shuttle". It could have been doing the 5 Benchlands shuttle, since I doubt it had the whistler destinations programmed in - I didn't see anything else up there besides the usual novas.

Probably storing it in Whistler as the Squamish yard is way too small to be storing unusable buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing that means 9933 has possibly been scrapped or sent somewhere else since its not there or in Squamish and was replaced by 9947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd320 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Went past the garage up in whistler this morning and noticed theres been more buses added to storage aswell as some that have disappeared. Vehicles there were all the buses i noted that left squamish a few weeks ago (however i didnt see 9905 there) aswell as D40lf’s 8099, 8110, 9753, 9754, 9755, and 9816. Nova 9415 is also still up there parked undercover with the XN40s and Nova suburbans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rulerduler Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I rode kamloops 1094-1114 series. They have voith. I rode stc's (CMBC) new busses since first day in. They do not sound the same. So i think Whistler's are same engines as Kamloops I want to know. So if anyone hears more let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
