To my knowledge they did bring the remaining fleet from Alberta and they are just sorting through on what they want to keep.

Damn 6272 was the bus I did my training on at Greyhound. One of the few Detroit/ ZF combos that reversed smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder Greyhound rookie drivers don't know how to use wheelchair lifts. I enjoy being "wheelchair dummy" for practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulated Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 With the changes in the fleet, thought that I would compile a list of every coach that has been in service over the past two months based off of the online tracker: X3-45: 0600, 0611, 0622, 0626, 0627, 0628, 0630, 0631, 0632, 0634, 0635, 0636, 0637, 0638, 0639, 0640, 0641, 0642, 0643, 0644, 0645, 0646, 0647, 0648, 0649, 0650, 0651, 0652, 0653, 0654, 8871, 8872, 8873, 8875, 8876, 8877, 8878, 8879, 8880, 8881, 8882, 8885, 8886, 8887, 8888 D4500: 1140, 1141, 1142, 1143, 1156, 1161, 1168, 1169, 1179, 1180, 1317, 1318, 1322 D4505: 1263, 1265, 1267, 1268, 1269, 1270, 1271, 1272, 1274, 1276, 1278, 1281, 1283, 1284, 1285, 1286, 1289, 1291, 1292, 1296, 1298, 1299, 1300, 1301, 1302, 1327, 1328, 1329, 1330, 1331, 1332, 1333 102-DL3: 6000, 6001, 6003, 6006, 6015, 6021, 6038, 6058, 6061, 6063, 6068, 6073, 6082, 6093, 6119, 6130, 6132, 6137, 6138, 6145, 6151, 6169, 6177, 6187, 6189, 6192, 6206, 6207, 6215, 6219, 6228, 6240, 6262, 6278, 6281, 6293, 6341, 6369, 6371, 51152, 60654 This leads to a total of 131 buses active. I think the estimate before was that there was to be around 120 buses left in the reduced Greyhound Canada fleet, so I would imagine most of the buses not listed above are likely gone by now (besides for the fact they would have been out of service for at least 2+ months). There are 38 coaches that last appeared in January or February 2019, and are likely candidates for ones sent to the US as training coaches: 6016, 6046, 6067, 6072, 6075, 6079, 6100, 6106, 6108, 6110, 6111, 6124, 6128, 6131, 6146, 6166, 6168, 6172, 6173, 6175, 6193, 6200, 6205, 6236, 6238, 6245, 6264, 6267, 6272, 6288, 6321, 6329, 6332, 6337, 6355, 6363, 6368, 60558 Note that the units with a strikethrough have already been confirmed above as transferred, which leaves 26 candidate coaches.

G.A Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 @Articulated thank you for the giant fleet update. I did see a former Greyhound near Orangeville in the old Sightseeing wrap. I am unsure of the number, but I do believe it was 1319 parked at a truck yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
