This is actually great stuff! It gives a complet list of the leased STCUM fishbowls that Ottawa had in 1986! Although, some numbers are hard to read in the scanned image. Can you post the numbers one by one of the leased STCUM fishbowls, just to see if I got them down right?

OMG! A full roster! I've been looking for that for a while!

Thanks Tom

Here's the Bus Pins forgot to post it

[ilbuses_6333]

Thanks Tom thats all great pics. I was born in 1982 I have little memories from a child but those pics bring back a hole lot. 8776 was once on the cover of the transit map and I do remember the Montreal Fishbowls that would be layed up at Hurdman station in the mid 80. They had large OCTranspo billboards in the side add racks on the bus. I also remember they would park in the far east bays at ST-Laurent south Garage. Remember the Artic too I thought it was an articulated D60 at the time but it had Glide-slide rear doors.

Again Tom... props...

This is great stuff! I wish someone had pictures of the Montreal loaners in Ottawa to share though..
